"What are you known for? A Vintage Dimensional Card""
This side has scenes stamped and covered in Perfect Pearls over sponged distress ink backgrounds. The frames are stamped and heat-embossed in gold and the images are decorated with diecut flowers are butterflies.
"First panel close-up"
The diecuts give some added dimension to the card and also cast shadows when the light falls in a certain way.
"Reverse"
The reverse has the same scenes heat-embossed in gold directly onto the brown cardstock.
"Reverse close-up"
Small lengths of ribbon and charms are tied onto the book-rings joining the panels.
"In the box"
This sentiment makes a great front panel when the card is folded and placed in the box.
"Take the time to walk barefoot in the grass making daisy chains and believe in the beauty of your dreams".

Pretty screen card.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Maddy. The screen design is so beautiful and I can see how you were inspired by the Japanese screen that you have. Using the gold embossing on the frames looks so effective and the images and details are beautiful. This is a real work of art.
