Hi everyone. Sharing a card I made with bits and pieces from my leftovers ... along with a sweet little die-cut flower that I got from my dear friend,
Joanna ... a long, long time ago. :) Isn't it sweet??!! And it fits perfectly in the little scalloped square. I watercoloured the flower and for the background, used some leftovers from our rubber band technique we did a few months ago. Just done with rubber bands around a brayer and inked with versamark and then heat embossed in silver. I stamped and silver heat embossed the sentiment to match.
Here's a close-up ...
... and I "winked" the flower and leaves with Clear Stella, which didn't show up on the photos above. Here's a super close-up so you can see just a little of the sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by!

What a darling BAP card, Lolly! Love that sweet flower and how cool that you used silver embossing for the RB technique! It's very impactful, especially with the silver embossed sediment! Hugs, Dolly
That flower is just the cutest thing and your coloring made it that much better. I'd forgotten about the rubber band technique so thanks for the reminder to try that. This is just a pretty, CAS card.

Loll, I am just amazed at how you can turn a CAS card into something so striking and beautiful. I adore that sweet little flower and the awesome background! And Loll, I did receive your card...another jaw-dropper. SO BEAUTIFUL! That die is gorgeous and the shiny Nuvo (?) inside takes it over the top! Thank you for thinking of me...I am healing not fast enough to my liking, but I think I am on track, it is just a process! Have a wonderful weekend! Heart Hugs, Col
A great design. I love the very interesting background delineated by the frame. The flower is unique, I can imagine what the splendor is. He fits in perfectly with the frame. A wonderful, amazing CAS card.

What a wonderful little card and just perfect with the one flower. Should try this type of design as it looks amazing. rubber bands around a brayer, so clever.
Just got back to comment this freshly framed flower. So smart to double frame, it gives elegance and dimension to this perfectly coloured daisy. The silver embossed rubber band background along with the sentiment add to this delicate card. xxx
What a darling snippets card, Loll. Love the shimmer! xx
That leftover rubber band background is perfect for you sweet little flower! And the pretty scalloped frame finishes the card off nicely!
Simply gorgeous Loll. Love the shimmer. So glad you showed us a close up.
Such a sweet card, Loll.
