Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!
The card I'm sharing with you today is one I created for my group Facebook lives last month. The NDC plate used for the background is so versatile... as indeed are all the Groovi plates. Linda's It's a Wrap magnolias are in season and perfect for this faux envelope, or as the title of the post indicates, what I'm affectionately calling a Faux-velope...
Here's the initial idea I had, but which proved to be too complicated to replicate during a live. Despite doing them for years, I still get nervous and the amount of moves necessary to create the full background pattern is seemingly unending...
Here's the video of how I created the simpler version...
Card: Unbranded white and Clarity clear and rose parchments
Groovi Plates: Linda's It's a Wrap Hummingbird & Magnolia
Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing, perforating and cutting tools, Polychromos, gold Posca pen and Pergamano brads
