Late summer flowers

When I was arranging all the elements on this card it was oriented the other way, landscape not portrait, and I was trying to decide whether the ribbon was needed or not.  My older daughter suggested turning it around and making stems from the bits of ribbon.  It was exactly the right thing to do.  The flourishes became tendrils, something like the tendrils of a weed which is taking over in my garden at present.

To make the card I embossed the flourishes with black e.p before sponging in garden green, pumpkin pie and apricot appeal. It was then that I decided to cut the image into three panels.  Then I embossed three flower images and punched them out with the 1 3/8’punch and sponged them.  The flowers are raised on Stampin’ dimensionals.

Stamps: Baroque motifs
