The Flower Challenge 2: Occasions, Part 2

 


Now if someone told me I could only create floral cards, I would laugh.. out loud! 
They're my favorite, to do and get. 


I fell in love with this Amaryllis 3-D die from Spellbinders at Christmas time, and 
needed a special card for a special lady, turning the big 5-0.


The petals assemble to form the 4 flowered Amaryllis, with stamens. My flower is
cut from Poppystamps' watercolor cardstock. I watercolored the petals and leaves, 
and glued the flower to a panel of Altenew stamped background (Dot Art).


The finished flower is long, so I chose a 5x7" base for the card.


The marvelous numbers are from The Greetery. I love their extra special detail!


The finished card is too dimensional for a regular envelope. My plan is to create my own 
box with my We R Memory Keepers tool.


The Flower Challenge 2 runs through the 25th, still plenty of time to join.

Have a good one!

Winter Watercolor


Ashley shows us some wonderful tips to creating our Winter Watercolor
cards, this week for PTI's Make It Monday. 


My card is slightly larger than an A2, because I wanted my Amaryllis to take center stage.
Watercolor paper makes the technique a breeze, blending and dragging one color
into the next. 


A closeup of the Amaryllis blooms and a few drops of Nuvo to highlight the stamens.
Not exactly a one layer, as was Ashley's example, and I didn't add any gesso.
Loved that dimensional addition of gesso, but did stamp the leaves onto
my background for a bit of dimension of my own.

Stamps and dies link directly to the PTI item. Happy Shopping!
