A card for Ashlie who is in the hospital recovering and could use some pretty cards to cheer her. She loves the color purple.
Our TPT challenge this week was to use our favorite go-to stamping tool so I used TWO embossing folders for this card. I ran the main panel through the Altenew Decorative Florals ef in white and used brush markers to add color. I framed it with one thin black frame for contrast using the Altenew Fine Frames Cover Die - another go-to which is designed to be used as one large frame or separated into smaller frames. Then I gave it an outer frame in white Birds and Swirls embossing folder by Provocraft, which was one of the first efs I ever purchased, many, many years ago, and still reach for often.
Hope this cheers Ashlie.

I don't recognise the focal ef but I can see why it would be a favourite. The bottom one is instantly recognisable and definitely a favourite of mine too. Lovely soft sponging on the flowers.

Love, love, love this card. The centre panel is so striking. I admire your talent. I have yet to figure out how to add colour to an embossed panel without messing it all up.

Gorgeous! I love the colors you achieved with your brush markers. So translucent, soft and beautiful. Like Sabrina, I am not familiar with this particular ef, but, I too own the second ef on the white layer. It was one of my first ef's as well and I still love using it and seeing on beautiful cards like yours. The black framing adds just a touch of dramatic flair. As I said, Gorgeous!

How very elegant .... the texture from the two embossing folders must be wonderful!! I also love that Provocraft Birds and Swirls folder ... it was one of the first folders I bought, too!!

Your purple sponging is drop dead gorgeous, Linda! I have the pretty bird ef you used in the background and it is a keeper for sure. Ashlie will love this creation!
