I am trying a few variations on the pressed flower technique and am thoroughly enjoying my 'experiments'. Here's the latest result
When I was taught the technique in a workshop, we used plain cardstock and punched flowers , but here I used patterned DP and ready cut and embossed flowers. I distressed/chalked the DP and the flowers before I glued them onto the DP, and then dry embossed it
I also used small punched flowers, and gems for the entres.
The butterfly is a diecut, and is embellished with gems.
The sentiment a peel off placed on a label diecut, that is tied with raffia and popped up to add a bit of dimension to balance the butterfly.
Thanks for visiting me today

Your card looks amazing! Would love to learn that technique. Thank you for joining in Artistic Inspirations, good luck
ReplyDeleteI find that background so effective. I love how the flowers become embedded and part of the gorgeous DP. The blingy butterfly makes a wonderful focal and the pops of the light colour provide lovely contrast. Thanks for joining our Birthday Bonanza challenge at Craft Your Passion this week. I always learn cool techniques on your blog...thanks for that, too.
