To make this card I embossed a piece of white card - the folder also die cut the bauble. I trimmed the panel around the embossed edge so it was slightly smaller than my card blank and attached it to the front of the card. I used the die inside the embossing folder to die cut a bright pink bauble and inlaid it. I attached pink floral paper to a piece of white card and die cut the intricate bauble before attaching it over the bright pink backing. I didn't like the bauble top that came with the set so I die cut a the top of a tag using gold mirri and attached the circle to the top of the bauble. To finish I attached a small gold bow (upcycled from one of last year's Christmas cards) to the card.
To make this card I used:
6" x 4" white matt card blank
Practical Publishing 'Opulent Baubles' embossing folder and dies
Creative Expressions 'Pierced Tags' die
Snippets of bright pink and gold mirri card, white matt card, pink floral paper
Upcycled small gold bow

Fabulous card Kath! Spotted your comment about Steve and his meds. Tell him that he'll get there. And even if they stop the Colchicine to still always have some on hand. In truth I've had a couple of scares during the tinkering stage as the Allopurinol dissolves crystals in affected joints. Two swift Colchicine pills then one later in the day has stopped it in its tracks. XX
Yup, looks lovely Kath! Focal point and EF complement each other nicely!
Thanks for sharing, and God bless, Shaz in Oz.x
