Since I am in summer mode/mood, I decided to play along over at The Card Concept #175 May Flowers Challenge. My card is clean and layered style. I was inspired by the summery soft coral-y pinks, orange, yellow with little pops of green in the photo, including the jar they are in! I bought Mother's Day flowers this year (photo below) because I loved the jar tied with raffia, filled with pink tulips! I also just got this Ellen Hutson Mod Florals die and was excited to use it!
Ellen Hutson: Mod Floral die
PinkFresh Studio: Braided circles dies
Taylored Expressions: Happy Summer Banner dies
Distress Oxide inks
Pretty Pink Posh: gems
Aqua painter
I played around with the two die cuts I made from the mod floral die and finally decided to cut the three braided circles out of a slimline panel and have the flowers spilling out of them. I watercolored the flowers and leaves with distress oxides and when I finally stopped fussing with them I let them dry over night. I arranged them in and out of the white panel openings and attached them here and there with Tacky glue. Once I decided on the Happy Summer dies, I cut each banner twice and adhered them together for thickness and sturdiness. I used foam tape to pop up the panel on a pink slimline card base and finished with some gems.
The challenge is open until Monday the 23rd, so join me over at The Card Concept!
