It’s time for another Crafty Friends Challenge. This time Charmaine is the hostess and she gave us this photo as an inspiration:
I really liked how the orange flower in the center popped out of the image and the most of rest of the image. So I started out inking up the solid flower image from The Craft’s Meow Happiness is… with Cantaloupe Memento ink. The edges of the stamp were inked with the Potter’s Clay Marker before the image was stamped on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The leaf of the same set was inked up with Pear Tart Memento Ink and the edges and lines were colored with the Bamboo Leaves Marker before it was stamped. That was repeated before both leaves and the flower were cut out.
A sentiment from that same set was stamped Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock that had been cut and embossed with a Fancy Tag 3 die. The tag was adhered to another piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the Fair Isle Pennant die.
Two pieces of My Mind’s Eye On the Bright Side Two were cut and embossed with a Grand Square Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and stitched before May Arts ribbon was tied around the layers and through an opening of the sentiment layers. The layers were adhered to the paper layer with dimensional adhesive before they were adhered to the card base, a piece of white cardstock cut and embossed a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die.
The ribbon bow was topped with a button that was tied on with embroidery thread. A piece of Fancy That! Border bling finishes off my card. I hope you have time to participate in the challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and smiles
