Aqua & Purple Herringbone


This card was recently sent to a  dear friend who was celebrating her birthday. I used papers from a K&Co paper pad for the herringbone background, along with some elegant eggplant for the flowers. I used a Sizzix embossing folder to emboss the finished background before adding the flowers. I embossed the HA flowers with white ep and the HA leaves with purple ep, popping them all up on foam tape. I added some lavender pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty, and a SNSS sentiment. I'm not sure if the color combination is to everyone's liking, but I was pleased with the outcome :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Well the color combo was perfect for me!!!!! I was lucky enough to b the recipient of this gorgeous card and it's still being displayed in my living room even though the birthday is long gone. It's even more stunning in real life. Thank you my dear friend.

I believe it has been a while since you have done the herringbone technique. You're so good at it and this is just super. Gorgeous card. The embossing really sent it over the top.
