Meet Elise

Elise is probably the most glamorous of the new Home Grown Girls, and just in time for Valentines day.

I spent Saturday morning creating this card. I want to do something a little different, as I feel like I have just been just making cards for the sake of it, maybe its the Post Christmas feeling!!!!!

Anywhere I went for a Trifold card, with a curved side. I layered up some papers I had in my stash, which I also used as the colour theme for Elise.

I spent a little time doing some techniques I was wanting to try. The Mat that Elise is sitting on was cut using a Nestie, then I ran it through my Bigshot in a Cuttlebug Folder, giving it a wooden texture then I pressed my Versa Mark Embossing Ink Pad over it and Embossed it with Clear Glitter Embossing Powder. I then used some Scrapbook House Rub ons I have had for at least 3 years for the sentiment and layered it onto some co-ordinating card.

I dug out my flowers and found some that went with the colour scheme and used some embellishments I bought when I went to the Doncaster Dome! The leaves were cut using a punch I have from co-ordinating paper, and inked the edges.

Here is a dimensional shot, Which shows the edging pieces I put together. I used a Martha Stewart Punch, with strips of paper and finally some ribbons, unfortunately these are no longer available as I bought them during a sale they were having.

Not really sure what I think, but I hope you like.

I'm going to play today on something a little special. I have enough Projects now to post for the week so a can get stuck into a project I have been wanting to do for a while. It should be ready to photograph and show next weekend!!!!!! I hope that has been enough of a teaser.

Pop back tomorrow for another share, Its a Challenge met, hopefully.

Take care
