It’s Thursday and time for a new challenge at Create with
Connie and Mary. This week we have gorgeous
colors to work with, check them out.
Aren’t these colors beautiful together! I love the soft Crisp Cantaloupe paired with the brighter
Cameo Coral. I felt that these colors
needed a flower, so I picked the Simply Sketched hostess set to make my card
with.
I really enjoyed making this card, it kind of just made
itself! Here are the details:
1
I picked Crisp Cantaloupe as my card base. Embossed it with the new Beautifully Baroque
EF.
2 Picked the flower from the stamp set as my focal
point. Colored the image with markers
and stamped it on Whisper White. Die cut
the image with one of the framelits from Apothecary Accents Framelits.
3 I added paper piercing around the flower using
the template for my die cut from the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack.
4 Cut strips of Cameo Coral and Pistachio Pudding card stock
and used the hexagon punch to make a banner on one end. Stamped Best Wishes from the hostess set
Express Yourself in Cameo Coral on the Pistachio Pudding banner. Adhered them to the card base. The Cameo Coral layer was first then the
Pistachio Pudding layered on top.
5 Added
the focal point over the banners with dimensionals.
6 Added bling!
I put two of the Large Basic Pearl Jewels above and below the flower. Then I added the tiny pearls on the
background embossing and the center of the flower.
That's it! the card came together really quick, it just flowed. I love when a card comes together easily and I don't have to over think it.
I I hope you will play along and make a card too! Hop over to Create with Connie and Mary
