I die cut more of the flower elements from the November Spellbinders stitching die of the month kit and had a play. This time I chose the really big flower head. I chose the yellow colours but wanted to bring in red so that was the colour I chose for some of the stitching.
I had cut the individual petals from a different yellow colour which gave it a nice tonal difference.
After putting together the flower I then had to choose how to finish off the card. I chose a piece of watercolour card that I had previously wiped off and this had a mix of reds and pinks on it.
I then chose some stamps from the Artistically inked set and added some extra yellows … to be honest this didn’t come out very well as the watercolour card isn’t great to stamp onto with the texture but it added in the colour. I then splattered both a red and a yellow ink and as my water had shimmer in it this came out a little shimmery.
I used the same Concord & 9th stamp for the sentiment and once again I embossed it … this time the orange powder which I thought worked well with the colours.
I then added clear gems for embellishment.
I added the panel to a red card blank and called it done!
I’ve since die cut many more of these pieces so I can sew them at leisure and make up more flowers like these in lots of different colour ways. They make such a lovely focal point for a card.
Prepare to see more of them!
I’ve decided to also try and remember to do a few challenges as a participant this year … this one I am entering into the contains flowers challenge for Beautiful blossoms
Happy crafting!
