Flower Power

Hi all... I was feeling a little sorry for myself, so I decided to cheer myself up by making a bright happy card...

I've used just about every colouring type I have!  The background splodges were made with Distress Stains, Memento inks for the stamping.  The flowers were coloured using Dylusions ink spray, PanPastels and Spectrum noir pens.  I used Dylusions stamps (how does your garden grow and doodle parts) and the butterfly from Studio 490 (make mine mini art) and then finished off with a mixture of bling! 

It was great fun to make and really cheered me up, I hope you enjoy the end result too! Xx

Specially made...

This card was created especially for my Great Niece, Claire's 11 birthday.

I used PanPastels for the background and stamps from "JOFY" and Dylusions.

... And finally...

This bright card used up a previously made Gelli background, finished off with bright buttons, the flowers were made from coloured paper! 

Flowers continued!

The card used for the background was 300 gsm linen finish.  Brushed Pewter and Antique Bronze Distress Stains were used for the splats.  The script used is from Inkylicious, stamped using Toffee Crunch Memento ink pad.  The leaves are the same as ones I mentioned in the earlier card, printed on to paper already coloured with the Antique Bronze.

Flowers continued...

I brayered gold acrylic paint on to pre-embossed black card.  The leaves were stamped onto acetate using StazOn jet black and two of the leaves from the Inkylicious stamp set, and then cut out.  Another set of leaves were stamped on stock white card; these were decorated using building flakes. The acetate leaves were mounted on top of the guided leaves.
