We have a new challenge for you over at Polka Doodles and this time it's my turn to choose the theme. As I'm sure you know, I really like making my own card elements in lots of ways so my challenge to you is to show some Handmade Flowers on your creation. You can use punches, die cuts, stamps, decoupage - in fact anything but pre-made paper or silk flowers.
I've used elements for my card that you can find on the A Double Sprinkle Of Kraft CD which I love for the pretty shabby chic papers.
I've made a favourite shaped card that I really love at the moment as it's quite easy to do but looks very different. This is quite a big card but will still fit in an A5 size envelope as I made sure that the raised central panel doesn't exceed the measurements.
I covered the card base with striped paper and then added a strip of floral paper trimmed with scallop scissors and inked to emphasize the edges. I then added a scalloped border from the CD.
I made the central panel with a cute girl image, coloured with Prisma pencils and then ran a warm grey Promarker round the edges of the image to make her pop out more. I layered the image panel on contrasting papers and then on a scalloped panel which I hand trimmed with scallop scissors and inked with brown.
I finished off with a flower made from scraps of paper and a Woodware punch and emboss punch. I inked the edges and added silk flower stamens to the centre. I also made the embossing show up more by using a large embossing ball tool in the embossed lines.
I hope you can enter and look forward to seeing the flowers you create.
I'm entering my card in the following challenges:
Crafts and Me - Use A Digi
Fab 'n' Funky - Die Cuts/Punches
