Cards using Spellbinders, 'Be Bold Blooms' Post #1 of 5

Dear Bloggers,

When I saw the spellbinders die set, 'Be Bold Blooms', I fell in love with the etching, beautiful floral shapes, lovely clusters and selection of leaves. I could not stop cutting and spent quite a few days just making pretty flowers.  I then spent many weeks making LOTS of cards with the gorgeous blooms. In fact, I made so many cards that I have divided them up into 8 separate posts.  This is the fifth in the series.  I invite you to look at the other seven.

In this series of cards, I positioned the flowers partially off the card front and trimmed the excess off.  I really liked the feel of the flowers 'falling off' the card as i felt it conferred movement and gave the card greater character. I will certainly be using this technique ALOT in the future.

    

My work was inspired and partly copied from the stunning cards made by Michelle Woerner.  Click on the link and go to her blog to see for yourself.
