See that pretty flower? I made it!I found this amazing flower tutorial on Joanne L's blog , and I wanted to try it right away. (I also fell in love with her blog, her cards are beautiful)I sat down and made 3 flowers, they were so fun to make that I could have made 20 had I the time. I did find a little trick that made them easier for me, I sprayed each layer of the flower individually before I put the flower together on the brad. That made it easier because I did't have dry spots to keep spraying and I didn't over wet the rest of the flower while spraying the dry spots. Your layers might dry a little while you're folding and scrunching, but re-wetting them is super fast and just needs a spray or two with your mini mister.
Anyway, who knew I would be so long winded today?
Sooo remember how I made this card for the ColorQ challenge but then I found out that the challenge was over? Well this week I'm ahead of the game. I have my card for the ColorQ done. HA! Okay, its just a small victory for me. It so happens that their colors this week, and the inspiration picture had me so inspired I couldn't wait. I love this color combo. I used some Papertrey Ink Berry Sorbet paper, and its the first time that I use this color, but I LOVE it. A lot. I'm doing this again. (I always say that but I mean it!)
I love that fabric so much1
I found some Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper that had just the right colors in it, and with the flower I was ready to go.
I bet you recognize this layout, its kind of like the "Sunshine in my soul" card I posted a couple days ago. Its the same layout from Wee Memories. Love that sketch, its so flexible and easy to work with!
