Framed scenes meets linked together

Todays card features a new bundle called Framed Scenes.  This will be one of the cards that we make at classes this month.  I started with a Pretty Peacock base.  My layer is Basic White, stamped with the water from a new bundle called Sunrise Sailing and then embossed with the accompanying Hybrid Embossing 3D folder also called Sunrise Sailing.  My focal image is cut using the diamond shaped die from the bundle Linked together and this is layered on top of another diamond cut in half.  Sentiment is from Simply Said.

Another Memorable Blooms sneak peak.  This card will be one we make in class this month!

Intricate dies, like this flower look stunning in black with a splash of colour in the background.  A great technique for masking and sponging and with a bit of texture with the Element of Text which fits perfectly in the octagon shaped window.  The flowers really pop and stand out on the sponged masked background.

Todays card features the CTMH Periwinkle cardstock - with it being 2 toned gives the perfect tonal effect for the layered effect on the focal image.  To make the flowers from the memorable blooms dies pop, sponge blueberry bushel over the flowers to give them definition.
