My
sister-n-law on my husband’s side recently lost her father. Since I was making the card, I decided that I
should make one that reflected her taste.
She is a big fan of black and silver or gold so that is where I
began. The card came together much like
I thought it would except originally I planned to have a butterfly where the
flower is. After playing around with it
for a while, I decided that I liked the flower better. I have enjoyed the
designs of Olga Direktorenko. I particularly like how she
uses vellum in her designs so I have been tryng that a lot lately. I started out
with some designer black and white paper and covered with a piece of vellum. I glued two black Mod Flower by Poppy Stamps die cuts to a black frame and placed that on top of the vellum. I had some silver gray paper that I wanted to
use but it was too thin to make a frame from so I glued the paper to some black
craft foam which gave it strength and dimension. I also cut some black
frames. The sentiment is from Heartfelt by Theresa
Momber available at Gina K Designs. I
embossed it with silver embossing powder and cut it out with one of Sue Wilson’s Vienna dies that I backed with a piece of vellum and layered on black card. For the decorations on the side used Frantic Stamper Spring Ivy and Memory Box Tall Chloe dies. I made the flower awhile ago so it was sitting in my flower box. Added a few pearls so the card is ready to mail.
