Fabulous and Happy flowers
Tuesday’s Color Challenge on SCS was super pretty: Blush Blossom, Ruby Red and Close to Cocoa. I actually stamped this card on Tuesday. I haven’t participated in a challenge on the same day that it was posted in I don’t know how long. It felt good!!!
I started out with a 4 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Blush Blossom cardstock, scored and folded it at 5 1/2″.
I punched the vertical side of the card front with the Scallop Edge Punch and paper pierced a hole in the center of each scallop.
Next the card front was stamped with Blush Blossom and the Baroque Background stamp.
For the main image I stamped the big flower from Fabulous Flowers in Blush Blossom on a 3 1/4″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock randomly. Next I inked up the same flower with Ruby Red ink, colored the edges with Chocolate Chip Marker and stamped it on the bottom left corner of the same cardstock piece.
The cardstock was layered first on a 1/4″ bigger piece of sponged Close to Cocoa cardstock, then on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Ruby Red. Last I paper pierced through a border though all three layers and tied White Taffeta Ribbon around the right hand side.
I stamped the sentiment from Happiness Always in Chocolate chip (since the sponged cardstock looked like it) on Whisper White cardstock, punched it out with the large oval punch and layered it first on the 1 3/8″ Ruby Red, then on a sponged Close to Cocoa scallop circle. A Blush Blossom flower was punched out with the Three for You punch, sponged along the edges with Close to Cocoa ink and placed under the sentiment with a Ruby Red brad. The sentiment layeres were adhered to the card front with dimensionals.
To finish the card off I added Diamond Stickles Glitter all over the big red flower and adhered a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock on the inside of the card.
This card came together a lot faster then the card on Tuesday. Hopefully it will stay that way. I don’t know about you, but when I make a card with just rectangular layers, it feels like it is missing something. Ticket corner punch or scallops….something to break up the box look.
