Hello, crafty friends! If you can't tell by this card, I've been in the mood to #craftallthethings lately. I've felt like stitching, coloring, diecutting, beading, and foiling... and thus, this card was born! I am so in love with the way that my favorite stitching techniques came together with the Glimmer hot foiling on this card. I see many more of these in my future!
To start my card, I selected some very light gray cardstock and Glimmer foil in Champagne. I used my Glimmer Hot Foil System to foil the gorgeous "Beautiful Ride" sentiment and center geometric from the Geometric Floral Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Die set. I then used the Organic Foliage Hot Foil set to foil some foliage in the corners. I then die cut some florals from some favorite Spellbinders die sets and colored them using alcohol markers (tip: layer several shades in simple flicking motions to achieve depth and dimension to your flowers and foliage).
Once my coloring was done, I arranged my die cut flowers onto my card to figure out where I could add some stitching. I added some simple roses and french knots here and there... enough to add some more texture and dimension to the card. And as if this wasn't all enough, I decided to do some beading and add some small floral sequins, adhering them with yellow center beads. A few small gold sequins and I called it a day... it was definitely way too tempting to keep adding embellishments!
I love how cardmaking allows us to create in so many different mediums, and this card is the embodiment of so many techniques that I love. I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I loved creating it!
