I'm back to share a floral card which I made using this gorgeous duo of colors from JUGS Color Week #678. Thanks, Nancy, for such a pretty combo!
Here are the inks I used with Altenew's Build-a-Flower Ranunculus:
I skipped the first of the layers in the set to allow for nice bright white highlights on their petals. I like the little leaves in the set but they don't include a stem, so I used them to create a strip of patterned paper to adorn the inside edge of my card and used a small scalloped-edged die* to nip a bit off of the front of my card to let it show!
While the inks were out, I thought I'd try my hand at a pink and yellow bird, too! I use my finger daubers to add color to the base stamp. This way I could keep the colors from mixing to peach.
Isn't she pretty perched on that sentiment. I lost a very dear friend last week and this is one of many cards that will go to her daughter to comfort her as her mom fought for years with quiet courage.
I love the 'window' in this Spellbinders' 3D Four Petal Floral embossing folder!
Thanks for stopping by - I'd better get one of these into the JUGS gallery before I miss the window of opportunity! Which one would you choose?
