Ribbons, etc.

Even though this Tuesday trigger is named Winter white, the first color that came to my mind when I looked at it was crème like vanilla crème

and flowers and pearls…

With that on my mind I made this card

I embossed flowers with white embossing powder. The cut out the central flower in two different layers. Attached adhesive pearls to the center of the flowers. Traced the swirls with liquid pearls. Scored a frame and attached a ribbon.

I didn’t have a clear picture in my mind when I started on this card. All I knew was I wanted a card oozing with crème, flowers and pearls; and I think this card fulfills that vision of mine.

Yes that’s the new feature I’m going to start with the new year! Every friday will be devoted to a card made by own free will, it could be a sketch of mine or color combination or some technique/tool/etc. I realized that in doing challenges I’d forgotten to let the creative part of my brain go leash-less.

To mark this new feature, I’ve also updated my the look and feel of my blog! How do you like it? I just love the new design!! Since it’s newly updated, if you encounter any glitches let  me know through your comments and I would try to fix it as soon as possible. Till then bear with me :)

Ok coming to my card. In this card I used a new embellishment – ruffled tissue skirt. To create this, all you need is a strip of tissue paper and then pleat it. You could either pleat it by making pleats one by one or you could do what I did – sew a thread through the strip and then pull the thread to form the pleats.

If you make a card using this tissue skirt, then do link it here. I would love to see it!
