Ice Blue Poppies




This is a lovely fresh design that I made for a friend of mine, a card, envelope and bookmark.  The base card is snow white centura pearl, on to which a floral image is stamped in clear ink on both side edges.  The image is heat embossed with holographic powder.  The backgroung panel is white card that has been embossed in a folder through a machine.  Broken China Distress ink is used to tint the edges, picking up the raised pattern.  The panel is then matted on to silver mirror card, and a ribbon added.  It is then attached to the base card with dimensional glue.  The central focal panel is a lovely collage image that is stamped on to centura pearl card with blue Brilliance ink, then heat embossed with clear powder.  The panel is matted on to silver mirror card and layered on to the card with dimensional glue.  The envelope is stamped with the same floral image used around the edges of the base card using blue Brilliance ink.  All edges of the envelope are tinted with ink.  The bookmark is made with an offcut of centura pearl card that is stamped with the floral image in Brilliance ink, and heat embossed with clear powder.  The ink is also used to tint the edges of the bookmark.  The focal panel is made in the same way as before, then matted and layered on to the bookmark.  A hole is punched at the pointed end and a ribbon threaded through.  A lovely hand crafted gift to match the hand crafted card.
