Flowers are ...

 


I tried a new to me technique for this card. I took a piece of white card and rubbed over it with an embossing pad. Then I covered the card with purple embossing powder and heat set. I then took a flower embossing folder and put black ink on the inside and ran it through my machine. I added black embossing powder and heat set again. 

I have had the panel for some time as I didn't know what to do with it. I didn't really want to cover too much of it up, as that would be a waste of the technique. Finally I hit upon an idea to cut a small panel in the centre of the embossed panel and into my green mat cut with a TL die. I stamped a PB sentiment. It still lacked something, so I cut a flower from the waste and added that together with a tiny bow. Still wasn't right! So I added a few die cut green "waste" dots from other makes.

I'm entering this into the Can You Handle The Pressure challenge with a twist of florals.
