Blooming Beautiful - with Jackie


I'm so thrilled to share these cards with you today, not only are they gorgeous to look at, but there's some fantastic little ideas lurking just under the surface that you might not notice until I point them out. Get set for some serious inspiration courtesy of the lovely Jackie Trinder!


Jackie has actually cut out the pre-coloured leaves from the Painted Blooms set and adhered one end flat to the surface of the card and the other popped up. It adds lots of dimension and tricks the eye into thinking that the leaves are growing out from behind each blossom.



Look really closely at the patterned papers Jackie has used for her cards... notice anything?
Yep, that's right! She has created her own patterned paper by shrinking and repeating the flower images from the set. What an awesome way of ensuring the perfect combination of paper and focal image!

Jackie, your cards are all so unique and beautiful. Love the way you paired patterns, diecuts and even a bit of bling to showcase the new stamps. Thanks for the inspiration.
