Alexandra Renke Flowers

Hi Lovelies

Sorry I've been a little quiet lately... it's been hot here in the UK, and my craft room temperature wasn't the best to be sitting in, making cards!

But I'm back today, this time with a card I've made for a friend on her retirement.  I used a slatted circle die from Craft Addiction UK, then a floral die set from Alexandra Renke.  I cut the whole set from white cardstock, but only used the stems and outlines, which I used gold pen to colour.  Then I cut the flowers from vellum which I'd printed a watercolour on and splattered with gold.  I adhered the vellum behind the frames, then added them to the circle which I'd diecut on my card panel.  I'd already printed the sentiment which I'd done on the PC.  Lastly, I backed the slatted circle with some pink cardstock on thin foam tape, adhering it all to my card base.  A little bow finished the flowers.

I've just added this close up so you can see the gold splatter better - depending on the weather, it's so difficult to photograph!

Hope you like my make today...
