Nature’s Prints in Blue and Gray / June Host Code for Customers / Last Chance & Retiring Items-Get Them Before They are Gone!

nature’s prints in blue and gray

I made another card using the Nature’s Prints Bundle because I just couldn’t help myself. Today’s all occasion card is a study in white, blue and gray. The card front panel was embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder then Gray Granite ink was blended over the surface in a random pattern – where some areas are darker than others. I was going for the weathered look.

A piece of Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon stretches across the lower third of the card front, then a circle frame was created using two circles from the Layering Circles Dies from a piece of the Sun Prints DSP. I then die cut a wreath from the Natural Print Dies in white and adhered that to the circle frame and this unit was then adhered over the ribbon onto the card front.

Several sprigs in white and Night of Navy were then tucked under the sentiment label to add a little extra umph! A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels finish off the card front.
