Less is More with Colour...
It's been a while, but this week I've found time to enter the colour challenge over on the Less is More challenge blog. The colour this time is 'round is 'Yellow'.
For my card I've created 3D blooms by folding punched flowers in half and gluing together, there's 7 punch outs for each bloom. Bit of a fiddle but I like the effect. The stems I hand stitched with some linen thread which gives slightly more texture than embroidery floss.
I'm off now to check out all the lovely entries I've spied on the blog.
Thanks for stopping by.
Gorgeous card, those PP papers look great. I love the twine stems.

You really do make the prettiest thing Vicky - this card is beautiful and I love the linen thread stems - I've never heard of that before.
ReplyDeleteWell worth the fiddle Vicky, the flowers are absolutely lovely and the stitching looks fab!

ReplyDeleteBrilliant I think this is really effective. How would you send the card though. Would you put it in a box?
ReplyDeleteI will probably use a box or it maybe a padded envelope.

Seriously, very cool card! Love your yellow blooms! You could probably make it go in an envelope by flattening the flowers in the middle, right? They should pop right up once the card was removed from the envelope.
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow wow .....stunning!
