Hello friends. A new month and time for a new challenge here at
The Flower Challenge, where this month we're looking for you to add
EMBELLISHMENTS to your FLORAL cards.
Since I add embellishments to just about every card I make, this was an easy challenge for me! Using products from The Greetery, here's what I came up with...
The Greetery just celebrated their 6th birthday and sent a freebie with each order, and this little cup/vase was the starting point for my birthday card. I cut it from Honey Nut cs (PTI) and ink blended it a bit for some shading and dimension, and then filled it with flowers from the
Best Bouquet Details dies using cream colored cs and ink blending with pinks for the blooms and greens for the leaves. I framed out the cup/vase with The Greetery's
A2 Stitched Scallops Die and the
Sweetest Frame stamp & die.
I added everything to a cream colored card base and then finished with a birthday greeting on the cup/vase and a few
PINK GEMS (PFS) for my embellishments.
The DT has awesome cards to inspire you to use your embellishments on your cards, and we can't wait to see you all in the gallery! You can check it out right
HERE to play along. This challenge is open till
Monday, Aug. 25th @ 9:00AM.
