Becky is our hostess this week, and she has selected a lovely color combination of Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry and Mossy Meadow. The dessert option is dry embossing.
I decided to create a card that could actually be used for a bride, full of flowers. For the dessert option (I always have to have dessert!), I tried the new-to-me Belleek Inspired Technique created by Kittie Caracciolo. (Click on the link to see a description of the technique.) It was very easy to do, and I really like the result, the background softened a little with light pink ink.
For the Flower, I cut four flowers from the smallest flower on the Fun Flowers die, then used the Faux Suede technique to separate the layers and create 8 flowers. I sponged both sides of each layer and then put them together with a big, pink brad.
Thanks for stopping by. Please come and join us and make a card (or other project) using this week's colors.

Some lovely embossing! I love your handmade flowers and we used the same flourish die - great minds and all that. Wonderful card! Love it. Hugz
