Hello friends. I have a new birthday card that I made for the Color Hues Challenge - Blue & Yellow.
ETA: Yea, my card was chosen as the Headliner at The Paper Players.
I made these pretty blue flowers with an older SU punch. It has 3 petals so I punched it twice for each flower from some lt. blue card by Recollections (Michael's). I used Copic Markers B21 and B45 to flick the strokes on the petals and colored the centers in with B45. I shaped the petals with my fingers and then glued them together. I added a fancy rhinestone gem to the center of each flower. The white panel was die cut with a trellis die from SU Linked Together and then embossed with the Cross-Hatch EF. I glued the panel to a lt. yellow panel (also Recollections) and then glued the trellis back in. I glued the flowers in opposite corners. The sentiment is from The Greetery Arched Sentiments stamp & die set. After die cutting the sentiment, I cut 2 plain layers and glued them together for dimension and then glued it to the center of the trellis.
I will also add this to The Flower Challenge, as I think the trellis counts as stripes (I hope so).
and to The Paper Players - Something Old, Something New (the punch is several years old and the SU trellis die cut is new to me.)
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
I love blue and yellow and these florals are just delightful! They look so nice accented the way they are and the lattice background is perfect! Thanks for playing with our Old & New challenge at the Players this week!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, your card is stunning! I remember this Stampin' Up! floral punch. It was one of my favorites. This shade of blue is gorgeous against the yellow. The jewelled centers add a touch of elegance, as does the swirled sentiment. Your card is perfct in every way! Thank you for sharing with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely beautiful JoAnn! Such pretty blue blooms and I love the trellis over the light yellow and the crosshatch background! Lovely, lovely card and perfect for both the Color Hues Challenge and The Flower Challenge...thanks so much for sharing with us at both challenges!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteJoAnn those punched flowers are gorgeous - the pen detailing really brings them to life and I love the sparkly centres too. Nicely framed around the trellis too - such a fresh card with a lovely spring feel. Thanks for playing along over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen punched flowers quite so lovely! Wonderful card, JoAnn!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so beautiful! I love the way you created the lattice background--very elegant, and one I'm sure you'll be able to use again. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
