Hello friends! I'm playing along in a new challenge today -- Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #1. Their very first! It's anything goes with florals as the main theme, but they've provided a very inspiring mood board as a spark. My card, which went to a special local friend for her birthday, features the same blue as the Beautiful Blossoms mood board. You can see the board at the challenge link or at the end of my post.
This card has a lot going on. I started with a designer paper base. Over that I glued four Tutti Butterfly Corner(s) with their corners meeting in the center. Then a square frame wrapped with designer paper. Then all that onto the card base. That's an oversimplification for sure.
A close up below... The flower is an older Heartfelt Creations die that cuts many sizes all at once. Each layer of petals was sponged with ink, then given two coats of ultra-thick embossing enamel. The leaves are from a different die set. The heart in the flower center is from the butterfly die. Pearls for accent. The Butterfly Corner(s) were layered for dimension and colored with a very light blue Copic marker.
I'm calling this a blue Dahlia, but it looks a lot like a lotus flower, too.
Supplies are listed below my signature.
Here's that challenge.
