Hello and welcome! Today I'm sharing a card that I created for the current challenge at Freshly Made Sketches, where Jen has given us this terrific sketch.
I went with kind of fall-ish style card with a lot of white.
I started by ink blending a few Distress inks on Bristol paper then die cut the flower layers, center and leaves. The colors were inspired by Laura Bassen, who used the same colors for her flower here. The bottom two flower layers were glued together only at the center, then the top petal layer was added with foam tape. The outer portion of the flower center was die cut from gold pearl mirror cardstock, adhered to the brown center then glued to the flower.
Next a panel of white cardstock was die cut with the Autumn Splendor cover die and layered on the white card base. The sentiment was die cut four times from brown paper and adhered to the vellum shadow. I also cut a rectangle from vellum, adhered it to the card, then added the leaves and flower. After adhering the sentiment to the flower and stamping "sweet friend" on the card interior, I decided it still needed a little something, so I found some matte gold sequins in my stash and added a few to finish things off.
