Yes you would think I would have no trouble following
this sketch from 52 CCCT wouldn't you?
So easy but what did I come up with well this.
Not really what was asked for.
By the way that is just crystal glitter on the flower so don't know why it looks blue in places
So it was back to the drawing board.
At last I got it right. The white card is embossed with holly and then cut up.
The holly comes from a Lucy stamp Holly square that I cut out after colouring and adding Dimensioal magic
The red card is one that I have had for 10 years or more
hidden at the back of a drawer.
The things we crafters hoard.
Am entering this in:
Thanks for dropping in you are most welcome.

Two lovely cards. I like the flower on the first card. The first card's design has just flipped the sketch. I think it might still fit.
ReplyDeleteI think they're both fabulous, Margaret! But I have to say I LOVE the CAS holly card--the dry embossing was a fabulous choice! Thanks for joining us at 52CCT! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous card and design Margaret. Visited from MIM..Loz
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with the first one - think it met the sketch just as well as the second - love them both - thanks for sharing for CHNC challenge extra for August - hope to see you again soon, Margaret. x

Hi Margaret - I agree with all the others that both of your cards are just wonderful. But, I really love the clean and elegant look of your second cards, and the fabulous holly. Thanks so much for joining us this week at 52CCT!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret - I love BOTH cards! The flourishes and sparkle on the first one are so lovely! The texture from the embossed panels and the Dimensional Magic on the berries on the second card are fab! Well done on using a card base that had been neglected for years, you just knew it would be needed one day! Thanks for always joining us at 52 {C}CT, I look forward to seeing you next week! Ruth x
ReplyDeleteI like how clean your embossed card looks! Thanks for playing at 52CCT this week (and I love the first card too... your story was hilarious!)
