I have wanted to try to make this card for a very long time after seeing this by @muddyong on Instagram. She cut her background with her Silhouette Machine (which I don't have) so I made mine with rectangles. This card is for our Just Us Girls #773 Die Week: Use a flower die. Check out all of the team members' cards as well as that of our guest for the month of May, Rosemary Dennis.
Products I used:
Papertrey Ink - Into the Blooms II dies
Waffle Flower - Nesting Rectangle Frames die set
Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Small Talk Sentiments
Rhinestones
I die cut a lot of rectangle frames and arranged them until I was happy with their placement. I adhered them to the card front, then die cut the flower and leaves. Using a Versamark watermark ink pad I dragged each of the layers of flower petals to darken the edges. I assembled them then adhered the flower and leaves to the card front. I chose a sentiment and added rhinestones for some bling.
We hope you will die cut a flower "or two" and make a card for our gallery this week! Can't wait to see the entries there....all flowers!!!
See you soon,
Carol

Way to make it work with what you have! Love the graphic feel of this too.
Thanks so much Carol.
Thanks Vicki.
Oh, I like that fringy flower and your layered background! This is oodles of fun, Carol!
BRILLIANT!! Love this technique Carol~
Wow, Carol! So clever of you to use that frame and make your own 'maze'. I just ran across that forgotten die yesterday and will be CASEing your card with it soon. The fringy flower is a good contrast to the graphic nature of the card. And I think it looks perfect without a frame.
WHAT A FABULOUS DESIGN!!!!
What a fun, unique look with the rectangles as a background! Lovely card!
Fabulous background using the rectangle dies! I love the graphic look paired with that pretty flower with great contrast.
Thanks so much!
Thanks Lisa!

Super cool card! Love the fringy flower paired with the graphic background.
