Laurie's Fabulous Favorites

Hello friends.  This week for Laurie's Fabulous Favorites, Laurie is asking us what our favorite card style is.  Like most things with card making, I have more than one favorite...I just happen to like it all!  Most of the time I opt for CAS, or lots of layers and flowers!  So today I decided to combine the three and make a CAS layered floral card.  Take a look:


I started with a plain white card base and added the Shape Shifter's: Oval ...die cut in white to stick with more of the CAS look.  (plus I just really like the look of white on white!)  Next I embossed in white on water color cs the flower image from Especially You and then water colored it with my Zigs before die cutting it out.  Here's a closer up so you can see my water coloring better:


I layered my flower over the top of the die cut oval and then for my sentiment, I used the dies from Especially You.  After die cutting the "for you" in black, I used some WOS to add some pizazz to the sentiment, and then once dry added that over the top of the flower.  I finished off my card with some baker's twine and a few iridescent sequins.

Beautiful! I love how you used so much white and then beautiful pink and green and then! POW a black sentiment to bring the focus in on the heart of it all! : ) Brilliant Marcia : )

So feminine and pretty, Marcia ... the soft pinks and greens are simply gorgeous against all the layered white! Love the touch of twine to tie in (tee hee!) with the black sentiment! Hugs, Anita :)
