Sometimes you see a card with such a clever technique on it that you can't help but have a go yourself. Recently I saw a stunning card by Sylvie at Gibmiss where she had used lots of different sized flowers and linked them together across an aperture. I thought this was a really wonderful idea and just couldn't resist doing my own version. Thank you so much for the inspiration, Sylvie.
My flowers were cut out of gold mirri card in three sizes using my Cricut machine. The card is 6.5" by 6.5" which will give you an idea of the size of the aperture. It took a lot of flowers and a lot of patience too, but I do love the effect. I matted the heart piece onto white vellum using foam tape to give depth to the design and then matted it onto gold mirri. A sentiment peel off and gold brads in the corners finish the design.
Do check out Sylvie's fabulous card which is a white on white stunner - just beautiful.
My card is for the following challenges...
- Fab n Funky Challenges - Make your own blooms
- Papertake Weekly - Bloom and Grow
- Paper Pretties - Use flowers on your card
Will be back with my Bah! Humbug! challenge card tomorrow. This week is quite a tester - it certainly tested me to the limit.
