Many thanks to Inspire Me contributor Val, who has sent us some fabulous traditional card designs using papers from our elegant Metallic and Vintage Pastels Collections
...and then adding her own fabulous 3D icons and 'blind' emboss effects.

All designs are made on 150mm sq folded card. The 'blind' embossing details were created by gently scouring the lines on the reverse of the card using rulers and templates.

Poinsettia - features Cotton White with Fine Line Finish card base and Strawberry Red flowers.

Peaceful Dove design - features Powder Blue with Fine Line Finish card base

Congratulations flower - features the beautiful crisp and translucent Sheer Silver paper, mounted onto Candy Pink card base

If you have any interesting effects and designs we'd love to see them - please send to designs 'at' inspiremepapers.co.uk
