Another Blooming Birthday

Hello again. I haven’t posted for a few days, but I have been playing in my craft room. I have done a little mixed media project from a virtual event last weekend, and I will show what I have made at some point, but for today I have this card to share:

The background panel was created by adding some diagonal yellow strips of card, then dry embossed using a Spellbinders embossing folder. This way, the embossed pattern ran across the whole panel.

The layered flowers are from a die set from Waffle Flower, and I used some older Altenew ombre card packs to create them, colouring the centre parts with a Copic marker.

Once they were layered, I decided to add a white layer beneath the teal/aqua flowers, so they stood out a little more from the background.

I chose a dark green for the leaves to make them really pop.

I was going to go with just the teal/aqua flowers, but decided to add the yellow ink blended flower to complete the trio.

The foiled sentiment was added, and as I chose a black foiled strip, I added some black gems, also from Spellbinders.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Pinspirational – embossing

Give A Crafter A Cookie – birthday

Dragonfly Dreams – use a die

Color Throwdown – yellow, green, aqua

Krafty Chicks – occasions

Here Is A Place To Start – anything goes – option to add flowers taken

Tic Tac Toe – left hand column – flowers + embossing + gem/embellishment

    A fantastic card. I love the texture on the background, it adds more dimension and is perfect for the flowers and those stripes are the touch of colour that it needs. Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start. Hugs, María.
