I managed to find a bit of time this afternoon to play along with the gorgeous CR84FN colours this week:
I used the Midnight Madness sketch for the layout and came up with this:
I wanted to make a handmade flower to achieve a {similar} effect to some of the lovely shop-bought ones I've seen all over people's cards recently. I found this tutorial a while back and the results are spectacular! I used Naturals Ivory cardstock to make the flower along with the Fancy Flower punch, 5-petal flower punch and Boho Blossoms punch. I added some glitter to highlight the petals - here's a close up:
The flower is resting on some fabulous Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon (new in our mini catty). The leaves image is from Growing Green and was stamped on watercolour card and coloured with a Pear Pizzazz marker and an aquabrush. The sentiment is from Oval All and the DSP in the background is from Elegant Soiree.
I'm off to prepare for a class tomorrow - thanks for stopping by!
