My card today is a bit out of the norm for me. I don't usually put gigantic, multi-layered flowers on my cards since they are incredibly bulky, but I had made this flower a while back and was getting tired of moving it around on my desk, so decided to put it on a card! The Just Add Ink sketch 106 was perfect for a big flower:
And so here is my card:
I used several "natural" images stamped collage-style on canvas fabric, Crumb Cake and Naturals Ivory cardstock in the colors of Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Sahara Sand. Above my flower is a fun little embellishment, and my sentiment is stamped on a little vellum banner:
Thanks for visiting today!
Mmmmmm.....yep, she ate a piece of cat food! As she would say, "OH MY!" Fastest little hand in Pennsylvania!
Oh my, LeAnne, this is so funny (your granddaughter)! She is just darling. And your card is gorgeous! I love the technique on fabric, and what a beautiful vintage feel! Did you also make the flower? Great job!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card-the kind I hand to a friend or family. Love the stamping on canvas.
ReplyDeleteFeed that child!! :>)
Oh LeAnne, I love that big bloom you made and you have inspired me to maybe actually stamp on my piece of canvas next time I pull it out to look at.
ReplyDeleteThis card just took my breath away. Gorgeous! One day I hope to make cards this beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly gorgeous ... love the neutral tones, love the texture and your detailing is superb!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics of Lil Miss C - she looks like she's going in for more!!! hahaha ...
I have done the same thing with a big flower. Moved it around then got sick of that and put it on a card. LOL This is a gorgeous card! I love that flower and the panels. I want to know about those wonderful embellishments.
ReplyDeleteI hope it was dry food. LOL Did she like it?
what a beautiful card LeAnne ~ I love the flower and those hearts are spectacular! And sweet little Cassidy...did you like the cat food!
ReplyDeleteLove your card. I have a couple butterflies on my table that I keep moving around. I should take your lead and put them on something. LOL Great use of the canvas paper. I have heard cat food is yummy. LOL Never tired it myself.
ReplyDeleteYou're right -- that sketch was just perfect for your flower! The card is just so beautiful; it's perfect, I think, for today's Sugar Creek Hollow challenge too!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful- LOVE those brown/sepia colors! As for Cassidy, I grew up with a few guys that regularly ate the dog's dry food- they've all done quite well for themselves ;)
ReplyDeleteWow you are such an artist.....stamping...stamping....stamping....on canvas no less! This is gorgeous! And yes that little one does look somewhat like the cat that swallowed the canary :)
ReplyDeleteOh this is a beautiful card, I love the colour and what a cute picture of Cassidy, she's beautiful. Have a good weekend. Teresa xx

WOW LeAnne this is beautiful. I love the natural tones and stamp images you have used and that flower is gorgeous.
