Hooray for Friday and a new Just Add Ink challenge! This week Rochelle found this gorgeous picture to inspire our creativity. Wouldn't you just love to receive a bouquet like this? I would!
My eye first jumped to the thick twine tied around the neck of the jar, so that's where I started with my card.
I cheat a little to get a round shape - I punched a large circle from Whisper White cardstock and then ran a line of glue around the edge. I then lay the twine over the glue and held in place until it dried. Instant twine circle for the wreath! Because I adhered it to Whisper White card, no-one can tell that I used the circle!
I used my new Sprig punch to cut some leaves in Soft Sea Foam to go under the flowers. I also stamped some similar leaves in SSF using a stamp from the Notes Of Kindness Card Kit, but they are a little tricky to see in the photo. The flowers are ones from my stash that I've had for yonks! I used some new Frosted Epoxy Droplets for the centres.
I wanted to give the card a floral border, so I used some of the lovely Petal Promenade DSP as a layer on the card. I like that it gives a dark border, but not a solid dark - there are some areas of softer colours.
You can see cards made by the rest of the Design Team over at the Just Add Ink blog. Those girls do florals so well!
Bye for now,
Tina
Gorgeous, Tina. I love your tip re: making the wreath too. D x
