I wanted to make a beautiful birthday card for my Mom and this is what I came up with!My color palette consists of Groovy Guava, Soft Sky and Whisper White. The card is Groovy Guava with panels of SU! Afternoon Tea and Secret Garden Dps.There is a matte of Soft Sky that is covered by the sewing trim of the same colors.
The main image is from Bloomin' Beautiful that was punched with a Marvy scalloped circle and matted with Soft Sky and Groovy Guava circles. The vase was paper pieced with textured Groovy Guava paper that has a little white ink rubbed on it. One was punched and the other cut using a glass for the size guide and scissors to cut it out round!
This circle is popped up over a square of Secret Garden Groovy Guava print DP.
A butterfly brad adds interest and clear gem bling perks up the corners. An oval cut and matted by hand is stamped with its sentiment and a flower drawn and colored to match.
The hardest thing to make on this card was cutting and matching the striped paper to make a square of the print! I hope my Mom likes this card! How about you? TFL!!! -Chrysi-
