I love the Beauty and Joy set in the Holiday catalogue as it can be used for more than just Christmas cards. Being in Australia I'm not big on Thanksgiving cards either but I though this set could be used for many occasions.
For this card I stamped the pot first and then the stem followed by the leaves so that I could correctly position all the elements. I then stamped five of the flowers in Rococo Rose on scrap paper and hand cut them. I intend to teach this card in one of my upcoming classes and I will be giving the attendees the option of stamping the flowers directly onto the tree if they prefer not to do the fiddly hand cutting.
The Rococo Rose background has been embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder.
For the frame, I first cut the rectangle frame using the die from Early Espresso card stock. I carefully positioned the card stock in the coordinating embossing folder, holding it in place with a small piece for washi tape. I then ran this through my machine.
I get the gold effect on the frame I selectively applied Versamark with a sponge dauber and then applied the Gold Emboss Powder.
The greeting is stamped in Rococo Rose and punched out with the Classic Label Punch. A rhinestone from the Noble Peacock pack is the finishing touch.
Thank you for visiting, I hope you enjoyed my card,
Happy stamping,
Rachel.
