I'm posting over at the Eclectic Paperie today where this month's challenge is embossing. Check out the eP blog ~ you can win a prize!
I made a card for a friend:
I started out thinking my card was going to be green and pink but this is where I ended up! Do you ever do that?
In this close up, you can see my embossed leaves (which started as clear) in the BG along with the leaves I cut out and used for the Prima seaweed collection bloom. The image is from Prima's Cartographer collection and the sentiment is a Tim Holtz remnant rub. LOVE how it fits on the wood frame from ADORNit. The gold dots were made using the Prima floral rose stencil and WV gold embossing paste. I could use them on EVERYTHING I make and I KNOW you've seen them before!
So since I had green and pink on my mind, I ripped the beige Prima flower off of the card and used this big Beautiful Prima bloom!
I'm thinking I like this one better with the green shading on the flower to match the BG.
YUMMY flower!
I hope you like my cards! Which one do YOU like better?
To see my step by step process, head on over to the eP blog where I have lots of photos!
Hope you like my cards!

Both cards are gorgeous but the second one is definitely my fave. I love the contrast of green and that beautiful pink flower. That is what I call a REAL Sue card:). Love it!

Oh, how I love that pretty green, Sue, with fabulous background! And, I am stumped because I truly love both cards with the gorgeous flowers...so pretty!!!
Ooooh double prettiness from your today!! Your background is so fresh and pretty. Love the wooden element too. They're both so special, but there's something about that creamy white flower that seems peaceful. Off to check out the how to...
So pretty, so refresthing!
Well I couldn't pick between them ... they are both stunners!!
Both of your cards are gorgeous Sue! Love the pretty background and beautiful blossoms!
Both are beautiful. The pink rose is more striking at a glance, but the image in the center of the daisy is compelling and so artsy. Love them both.
Thanks for commenting on my blog.
