Hello friends. I am working on anniversary cards for March, I have 5 to make and this is the first one.
I was inspired by this card by Kelly (thanks for the inspiration Kelly) and made a similar card. I embossed a panel of SU Balmy Blue with Altenew Textured Tiles 3D EF and then blended Blueberry Bushel ink around the edges. I only used two of the smaller blooms on my card. I die cut them from SU Bubble Bath and then blended Flirty Flamingo ink in the centers before glueing them together. The centers are cut from a brown and white scrap. The leaves are cut from SU Granny Apple Green. I liked the way Kelly had the vellum across the center with the sentiment on it. I die cut the sentiment from gold foil with an older die that has no name on it. I glued the sentiment to the vellum and tried to fold the vellum around the blue layer, but it cracked on the fold, so I trimmed it added dots of glue on the edges and also under the sentiment. I really love this color combo and the finished card.
I will add this one to Festive Friday - I used pink, ink blending and die cuts.
and to Triple B February Challenge
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, JoAnne! I'm loving these shades of blue and pink together and the shading on the flowers gives them so much depth! The strip of vellum for the gold sentiment is a nice touch!
