Hollyhocks

Hi Everyone, my card today came about when I saw a card on Amazon and loved it, so I ordered the die, when it was delivered, I cut it out of black scrap card I had to see if it cut correctly, it's been sitting waiting for me to do something with the die.

I was  making a tea light holder, to be shown later, when the circle scraps lit a light in my head, not often that happens by the way LOL. I had my inks and painted a piece onto card, then remembered I had seen in a video, can't remember whose, I'm sorry, they had drawn some black lines, so decided to try it and just added my die cut, a stamped sentiment, it was too long, so cut it, I have just got over - "I can't cut a stamp!". I then decided to 3D the layer. Such a simple card for me.

hollyhock die - unknown
circles - Hunkydory card
ink - Ranger spun sugar
sentiment stamp - magazine freebie

  5. These are so pretty! I cut some of these hollyhocks at a friend's house years ago and loved them too. The circles behind them are a great touch!

  8. Oh, my, how I love this card, Faith! The hollyhocks out of black CS are magnificent, especially against the white circles. Love the soft pink and that simple sentiment says everything that needs be said. Wonderful creation, my friend.
