With Love For You - Layers and Beaded Details

I was so inspired by all the red accents of last week's card. I just love how it looks against an all-pastel background! I think this is a new favorite combo for me.

And I've been loving playing with beads and different textures lately. It's been a fun way to add a little bit of sparkle and detail, when sequins just won't do. 

This little card is a just-because creation, so I'm adding it to the shoppe, and you can find it right here! 

To create this card, I stamped a variety of flowers using the Shower Flower stamp set from CTMH. I used Spring Rain, Saffron Spice, Ripe Avocado, Pale Peony, Pinefeather, and Lovely Lady from Papretrey Ink's lovely lineup of colors.

After assembling the florals, I added a chipboard accent to the top, along with a patterned paper cutout flower for a bold, red kick. Just around the leaves, I added a few pink and white sequins.  

For the sentiment, I used PTI's Stitched Sentiments stamp set, stamped in Pure Poppy. 

Just below, I fringed some crepe paper, and added a couple of chipboard banners, along with a lace border weaved with beads. (TIP the beads can be weaved with string, but I prefer using thin wire. It eliminates the need for a needle and it keeps the beads straight.)

That's it for today's post friends :) Thanks for joining me!
