Hello again! Can you believe it's the last day of March already??? A quarter of 2019 already flown by, but I am happy because the weather will be warming up and all the flowers in our yard will begin their blooming season! Already we've had hellebore, crocus, hyacinth and volunteer primroses. Love it!
I'm sharing a card that carries one symbol of spring that I'm waiting to see in our yard soon, and it was made for three challenges: Freshly Made Sketches, the Color Throwdown and the Tic-Tac-Toe for The Paper Players. Links to all the challenges are added below.
The colors for CTD are described as Mauve, Mossy Green and Cream, and I had a hard time settling on a color for mauve, but after a couple of failed attempts, finally found the color I was looking for, not too purple and not too pink. For the Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, I used a die-cut for my sentiment strip, embossing and a floral image.
I really love how these tulips turned out and think I've found a new favorite Copic color combination! After coloring on Neenah Solar White, I remembered that the color challenge included cream not white, so I ended up fussy cutting the bouquet and used foam tape to mount on the Ivory card stock panel.
A strip of embossed Crumb Cake card stock was added to the side, then linen thread wrapped around the panel next to it and a little bow tied on. Since I didn't have any card stock that matched well with the flower colors, I used a Copic marker to color a strip of card stock, then heat embossed the sentiment. A few sequins finished things off.
So glad you came by to visit! I hope you have a great week!
