Good Sunday morning. Before I start my post today I want to offer you an opportunity to win my blog candy gift of the Memory Box Flowering Vine Border die.
All you need to do to qualify is leave me a comment on this post , The deadline will be Wednesday, May 5th at 5:00 pm.
My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Queen for the Day challenge. Peggy aka jasonw1 was our queen this week and I was inspired by her gallery filled with beautiful creations. I finally settled on Peggy’s Framed Whimsical Flower because I loved the soft feminine design and elegance.
I love making the Belleek Inspired background using cream cardstock and adding just a touch of soft color. I thought it would be so lovely paired with the Sizzix Ornate Oval Frame and Memory Box Honeyblossom Sprig and Fancy Blossoms.
Here’s what Peggy’s card inspired me to make.
I started by applying ink on the top side of the embossing folder with my brayer, inserted the cardstock and ran through my big shot with the top face down. Check out this link on Splitcoaststampers for the full Belleek Inspired instructions.
I cut the frame and mounted it on the card base with mounting tape. I cut the sprig and attached it to the frame opening with tiny pieces of mounting tape. I cut out flower pieces for three flowers, sponged on shell pink ink, formed the flowers with tools and mat from the accessory tool kit. I assembled the flowers and attached them over the sprig flowers using glossy accents . Adding champagne pearls to the flower centers and frame.was the perfect finishing touch.

Have a wonderful Sunday. Thank you for stopping by and for all of your supportive and lovely compliments to my posts. I really appreciate it.

It’s only 2:11pm and I notice my time on my post says 5:11pm. Not sure how to change my clock for my posts to the correct time…
Kitty, all of your cards are gorgeous, but the elegance of the Belleek technique makes this one special! Mine never turn out so perfectly, but maybe because I don’t turn the ef top down. Thanks for sharing that tip!
And I can always use another die, so my fingers are crossed. This one is a beauty!
You are in a different time zone. The replies post to Eastern time zone, Daylight Time now, I guess.
Oops, Kittie, I can’t believe I misspelled your name! Sorry about that!
Beautiful card as always. I love the Belleek technique.
Beautiful card as always…love your work. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy.
Kittie, beautiful card as usual. I love how you put the pink on the embossed paper – really makes it pop. Thanks for the chance at the blog candy.
I love how crisp you get your baleek inspired backgrounds. Mine always bleed into the embossed area
Your cards are always an inspiration, and I love the information on turning the embossing folder upside down. I had never thought of that. Thanks for the chance to win that beautiful die. It’s been on my wish list for awhile.
Wow Kittie, you always amaze me. Your card is just so gorgeous and perfectly made. I love the hint of color on your baleek background and the frame and layered flowers.
Your embossed background is stunning. I love the soft and elegant look to this card. The flowers inside the frame stand out and add to the special look to this card. Love it!
Your cards are so beautiful and impressive that I am in awe! I love all the embossed texture and the fancy frame!

Your card is lovely! I was not familiar with the Belleek style. I’m definitely going to have to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh, Kittie — you do take my breath away. I am in love with this technique, and looked it up both on SCS and YouTube. No matter how hard I try to CASE your cards, I just have to laugh. Maybe some day…. (I’m 6 hrs behind EST). Color me “in awe.” rosy
