Window Flowers

Last week I did another recessed window class and decided to make a new card for it.

I thought the Hydrangeas in a vase from Bloomin with Beauty would be perfect framed and I couldnt go past the purple and green colour combination.

Recipe:
Stamps: Tres Chic, Bloomin with Beauty
Paper: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Enchante DSP (2008 Idea Book & Catalogue)
Inks: Versamark, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum.
Accessories: Watercolour Wonder Crayons, Aqua Painter, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Eggplant Grosgrain Ribbon, Bone Folder, Ruler, craft knife.

You may notice that the lighter ribbon is not quite ‘white’. I actually dyed it using the Pale Plum reinker. I just put some water – not a lot just a bit to soak into the ribbon – and then dropped some of the Pale Plum reinker into the water. I popped a length of ribbon in (about a metre) and made sure it was all wet and the colour even. I left it in probably 5 to 10 minutes then took it out and hung it up to dry. You can do this with any reinker colour and white grosgrain so now you know how to make any colour ribbon to coordinate with your projects.

Here is the opened card.

I’ve placed a panel over the ‘recessed’ part and on the right placed a piece of pale plum which can be written on and has the lovely poppy flower stamped in versamark on the right for continuation.

Hope you like this card and if you would like me to show you how to make this card then give me a call to arrange your demonstration today.
