This combo made me think of cream colored flowers so I decided to use the pretty HoneyBee Stamps Lovely Layers: Magnolia for my card.
The flower petals were die cut from ivory cardstock, then I lightly inked the center of each layer and the ends of some of the petals before adhering together. Originally I ink blended a brown center but I didn't like how it looked so I switched to matte gold. I mean, can you ever go wrong with metallics lol?!!
Next the large vintage frame was die cut from cornflower blue cardstock and I found the foiled sentiment that had been created in a previous foiling session, which led me to creating this layout. I had everything layered on the ivory card base but the card needed a little something more, so a panel of ivory was embossed with a beautiful and intricate folder from Paper Rose, then the frame, flowers and sentiment were adhered. The final step was to add a few gold pearls.
So, what does this color combination bring to mind for you? For more inspiration, my amazingly talented teammates and our guest designer Steph have some stunning card designs waiting for you over at the challenge blog! I hope you decide to join us; the challenge will remain open until 9 am EST Friday 3/29.
Take care!
