Week 40 – Pool Party
This handmade card features products from the Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection.
It’s funny how you start out with an idea in your head, but the card morphs itself into something totally different. I began this card by diecutting the Gold Foil pieces [Beautifully Celebrated dies] that are around the circle [Stylish Shapes dies] feature, these are actually meant to be like ‘photo corner’ pieces. I was hoping they would create a different frame – I was happy with how it came together!
The Pool Party circle is dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D EF. The images are Gold heat embossed on Basic White card and coloured using Blends Combo Markers, then diecut with the coordinating dies.

The sentiment is Gold WOW heat embossed and fussy cut. Some Gold Mesh Ribbon was cut lengthwise and added towards to the bottom of the circle, then the layering of the other elements began. The flowers and leaves, I used my fingers to bend the sides to give them more lift.
On a Pretty Peacock cardbase, I’ve layered some of the Designer Series Paper [Square Snippets DSP] onto some Pool Party cardstock. Before addding the feature piece, I stamped a splatter to the corners in Pretty Peacock ink, it’s hard to see, but subtle.

I stamped and coloured another flower and leaves to add to the inside corner and on the envelope!
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next week for Poppy Parade inspiration.
