Happy Wednesday, everyone! Time for a new Card Concept challenge, where we use different concepts to create our cards! Here is the gorgeous inspiration that Julie has for us this week:
I loved this photo and these colors so much, I pretty much went with a literal interpretation for my Clean and Layered card today! I used some pretty Altenew layered flowers and some SU greenery to create this:
Some stampers are really proficient at lining up these layered stamps, but I admit that I do struggle with them a wee bit! But I think these came out okay enough!!! I used shades of Petal Pink, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink, Real Red and Merry Merlot to create the roses, and the leaves were stamped in Granny Apple Green:
I mounted them on a panel of Basic White that was embossed with a Tim Holtz brick embossing folder and lightly sponged with Smoky Slate ink so that the texture was visible. A wee little sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs was diecut and popped up on the wreath, as well as a simple little bow from Organdy Glittered ribbon:
I stamped a greeting from a retired set called Good Greetings and since I had an extra "frond", I added that on the inside:
What will inspired you today? Colors? Florals? The heart-shaped wreath? I hope you'll play along with us at The Card Concept and share your creation and concept with us as well!
Sawyer, the birthday boy, with his very clever "camo" cake created by my other very clever niece, his Aunt Kelly!!! It was a big hit! You can see LOTS of camo in this photo!!!
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
