Another Nature Walk

As we head into the last month of the 2011 Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue which ends 31 July 2011, I would like to share yet another card I made from the botanical beauty of the Nature Walk stamp of this catalogue. I cased this design from Mary Fish who produces absolutely fantastic creations.

 cardessence tips

• run the Floral Fusion die through the Big Shot for your die cuts before running through the Square Lattice embossing folder to give the flowers some texture;
• I used 3 different circle size punches from my cache of tools to punch out the flower centres in WW;
• emboss the VV card stock with the Finial Press embossing folder;
• use dimensionals to adhere the WW layer to the NQN mat so that you can lace the grosgrain ribbon in between these layers instead of underneath the NQN mat. TTFN
