This card began as an experiment as I tried something just out of curiosity. I knew I wanted flowers in teal and coral but I also wanted shine so I took a scrap piece of silver mirror CS and added alcohol inks in those colours to it. I also tried swiping inks and then adding heat embossing in clear but that was less successful. Anyway I took the Memory Box die called layered Periwinkle and cut the flowers. Spent a few minutes curling the petals before putting them together. While the glue was drying I cut the card base and layers and adhered together. The white layer was run through with an embossing folder that is like bubbles, but it was gifted and didn’t have any labels so I can’t attribute to any company. I die cut two frame circles and added them on top before gluing to the rest. I wasn’t happy with one embossed section so I added a small teal strip to hide what I didn’t like. Then I added the flowers as you see, with the center one being popped up on foam tape, along with a cut apart sentiment from Paper Rose. The flower centres have Trinity Stamp embellishments that pick up the colour they are placed upon. They look a bit like pearls but are not.
I honestly believe this is one of my better creations and I am really happy with how the experiment worked. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it very much.
My card will be added to the Color Hues challenge.
