Hello! Its again been some time since I created a non-DT card. Being totally out of it is slowly becoming a norm and I wanted to break it desperately. Thankfully, this idea that appeared in my mind clicked!
I started with making watercolor panels of blue and brown using Brusho powders. I first used water mixed with perfect pearls and then used plain water to mist the panels, and dried them using my heat gun. With this I had 2 panels of brown, one a shade darker and 1 of blue. I then die cut the lighter of the brown panels and the blue panel using Altenew Doodled Lace die. I also cut out the flower and leaf pieces from the die cuts.
To make the background framed panel, I die cut the darker brown piece with my Memory Box Rectangle Basics, creating two pieces – the frame and the panel inside. I cut a few more pieces to adhere them only behind the frame, to raise it a little. I then positioned this on my card base, stamped the sentiment, from Altenew Beautiful Lady stamp set in Versamark ink and heat embossed it in copper.
I then adhered the frame-panel over the cream, rustic card base. I also adhered the flower and leaf pieces that I had cut out earlier – some raised with foam tape and some directly adhered. Finally, for embellishing, I used a few brown colored clear gemstones. To add a bit more sparkle, I went through the flowers and the frame with a glitter brush pen.
With this card, I am also joining the following challenges –

A gorgeous card! It’s interesting how the texture appears like felt (or suede.)
I didn’t really think that until you mentioned it! Thanks sis! đŸ˜˜
I love this those brusho panels are fabulous and the blues and browns are brilliant together xx
Thank you very much Hilary!
Those colors are quite dark to be used on their own but you have balanced them with white and they look Stunning together !
Thank you so much Pooja!
Always get excited when I see people use floral dies for our challenge. I think most people immediately think of their stamps for flowers, so this is a gorgeous change. Really like the colour combo, looks almost metallic, like an oxidised brass. The layout is fantastic too, I don’t put things in the top left-hand corner very often, this has encouraged me to give it a go because it looks so fresh and modern. Always wonderful to see you at The Flower Challenge!! xx
Thank you so much Shona!! I really appreciate your kind words.
Hmm, I thought I knew those flowers, but in a very different way! You did a whole new “treatment” to the Altenew Doodled Lace die, and it looks gorgeous!
Thank you Cris! Not an origow, though.. I had seen another card where it was cut down, don’t remember where. I just remembered it when I made this one!
