Blossom Card

Good afternoon everyone

This afternoon I have made a very quick card using a photograph I took a couple of years ago.  I started to play around with some of my flower photographs in Craft Artist last week and used one of them for this card.  I have added the text direct to the photograph.  The card itself couldn't have been more straighforward to make and just took minutes.  Faffing around deciding which photo to use and what text to add to it took forever!

The card base is a 15x15cm pre-scored card and I have used Stardream paper in brown and bright pink to layer the photograph onto.  The flower photo was printed onto Joanna Sheen's gentle gloss paper.  The piccie of the card isn't the best because I had to turn it away from the light due to the reflection on the gentle gloss card!

Here is the original photograph

I have lots of flower photographs stored on my pc - some are quite good and others not so good.  When I first started out making my cards I used a lot of my own photographs in my little £5 cardmaking software and made purely printed cards.  After a while I started to add a little piece of ribbon here or a flower there - and look at me now!

Thank you to Chris at Crafting Heaven for posting a pic of a card she made using one of her own flower photographs for inspiring me to get cracking on this!

Thank you for visiting my blog.
