This one was inspired by one of the projects in the magazine as I was struggling to think what to do when I pulled the pack of supplies out to play with! Also I didn’t mention it in the video but the maker of the project (Monika) on the front of the magazine has recently started following my videos and so I will also be checking out her projects soon – maybe I will use one of her cards for a future video too!
So thank you to Marie Jones for the inspiration! Wish I could find her online presence to tag her but can’t find her!
Love the colours in this card so much! I think Crisp Canteloupe ink is still one of my favourite SU colours that ever existed (island indigo remains the absolute fave!). Mixed with More Mustard it worked so well using the packaging technique to create the background for the flowers that were stamped and embossed on panels of the papers in the kit.
The leaves were those brushos ones I did a while ago – but added mossy meadow ink with a blending tool to darken and tone them down to make the colour more appropriate for the other elements.
There was quite a lot of fussy cutting and layering for this card with the flowers and the sentiment – I raised the sentiment on foam adhesive to make sure it didn’t disappear behind the bold floral elements.
I added quite large pearls to the centre of the flowers and then scattered tiny pearls around the card to finish off. As I hadn’t any mid size pearls I then added the yellow gems to the centre of the smaller flowers.
Inside the card I added the sentiment again along with the flowers leftover from the front!
Love how this card came out and happy that I had the magazine to hand to inspire me to make this one as sometimes the mojo just want to play and needs a bit of a prod to get me started!
Happy crafting!
