Hello friends and welcome! The Flower Challenge has a tricky one this time - adding spots or stripes to flowers? I think I'll put them in the background or foreground, myself! Here's how I did it... my friend Therese made a great video on using heat embossing in several fun ways. I've used one of her tricks to add stripes as a landing zone for a pot of Waffle Flower Craft's water-colored crocuses!
Take a look at a little closeup of them ...
Three strips of double-sided tape were added to my card front.
Then I poured over WOW's A Girl's Best Friend glitter embossing powder over the strips of sticky tape, heat set it from the backside first, then completely set it from the front. I'll admit it worked far better than using Versamark ink for this glittery powder! That girl is so clever!
While 'working ahead' I forgot that by the time this posted crocuses would
be long gone... that's okay. Paper ones are 'forever' and it is still Spring!
Okay. Are you feeling inspired? I hope so. But if not, my teamies over on The Flower Challenge blog have all kinds of ways to add spots or stripes to a floral card!

I was very happy to see the purple crocus at The Four Seasons Challenge: Spring!
