For the August challenge at A Perfect Time to Craft, we were each able to select one of The Hungry JPEG's amazing collections.
Wow.. there are SO many to choose from and all of them are gorgeous! I selected Nature Breathing with the intention to foil some of the beautiful floral and background images.
I printed one of the border images using a toner printer then foiled with gold Deco Foil. I cut out the inside of the floral frame and adhered my coaster blanks (vs. foam tape) onto the back. I printed out a layer of branches, one of the gorgeous birds of paradise and three sizes of flowers onto Mix Media paper and colored with Spectrum Noir's Blendable Pencils. After fussy cutting them out, I positioned the leafy background behind the floral border and adhered flat to my card base. The bird's branch ends were glued to the back of the floral border and more coaster (or foam tape) as placed on the bird. The foiled frame with bird was then mounted atop the card panel. The flowers were tucked about and the beautiful foiled sticker sentiment was added (after popping it up a bit). This card is just so rich and lovely!
