Favourite Technique

 Morning and we have a new "Favourite Technique" challenge at Sparkles Forum chosen by Pamela. My favourite is making fun folds and of course stamping. My  all time favourite card fold is the  diamond point card. I used papers and die-cut from Crafters Companion. The Rose stamp is from Honey Doo with details added with Faber Castell pencils, the background stamp using DI is Bubbles from Tracy Evans.

This is lovely Carol.
Having severe issues with Google and Blogger as my Reading List hasn't updated for over a week now - it's a Google problem, first reported by some blogger in July and not yet fixed. So am sorry for missing recent posts. x

Alyson Mayo said...

The colouring on your focal image flower is terrific - so unusual! Blogger has stopped updating blogs on my list... that's why I am late leaving a comment!

Uschi said...

What a wonderful card. The diamond shape is truly lovely and suits this pretty rose perfectly. The background paper is beautiful and the coloring is fantastic—the paper and the rose seem to blend together seamlessly. Simply stunning. I am thrilled with this magnificent card.
Thank you so much for sharing it in the current "Do-Al(l) Kreatives" challenge.
Hugs, Uschi
