What I loved about TaeEun's card was the use of a square die for cutting her Spotlighted portion of the image. I seconded that notion:
Platinum heat embossed onto Bristol paper, this Dahlia from The Ton is one of a few I bought from another card crafter - she left a little mojo inside, right? The Winnie & Walter tag, and sentiment strip, is from Noelle's Cutaways; a sentiment from Beautiful Lady from Altenew tops it off perfectly.
Thanks TaeEun for the inspiration, and The Flower Challenge for starting our new year off with a fun technique!

I spy another inspired design. Such talent, Michele. x
ReplyDeleteYou know, of course, that the first time I saw this card, I was dumb-struck. It's so pretty and so darn clever with that gorgeously colored tag. Apparently, The Flower Challenge thought so, too. congratulations on your HM win.
