I think this is my favorite set from the Occasions Catalog.
This aperture piece was sitting in the box and seemed perfect to frame the image.
I cut the image "out of the box" leaving some leaves and the bud to fussy cut.
I loved the way it could hang out of the frame.
The little banner looked kind of lost so I stamped a few flowers on it
to jazz it up.

ReplyDeleteI have this set too Bonnie, and it is a NBUS for me. lol I so need to get my sets out and start playing with them. Perhaps when life slows down some. I love how your card turned out! The "window" is fabulous with the flower showing though and some fussy cut to hang over. I love the thin black frame, as it makes the flowers pop even more. Your banner is just so cute with the flowers framing it, love it! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteA perfect card to make when your azaleas are beginning to bloom - mine are probably a few weeks away, but I have one the colour of your lovely blossom on the card. Love the way they are framed and some blossoms and leaves are coming out of the frame!
ReplyDeleteLove that technique, which I never think to do. This is gorgeous, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! The embossed background is neat and somehow really goes with this image. I just love how you have bits of your bouquet sticking outside the aperture!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with 'out of the box' on this lovely card. Thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday!
