With Love floral image on hand coloured 6" square card -
Day 110 of my 366 day challenge
Hi Craft addicts!
This card is slightly out of my comfort zone as I am not really a "flowery" person but thought I needed to try and make some for this challenge!
So, first of all, I decided to use one of the fancy edged flower topper from the Easter collection from Kanban along with one piece of the silver mirror card and one of the 6" flower embossed white cards that were part of the kit.
I used Smoothie sponges to colour the front of the card using Generation Inx water based ink pads covering sections of the the card whilst I used a particular colour. The colours used were Purple, Reds, Orange, Green and Blue and created a lovely effect (well I think it did)
I then die cut a piece of the silver Mirror card using the 2nd size down in the Tonic Studios "Threaded Scallop Layering die set" - I was going to use the centre of it but decided that it worked better with just the frame and so glued it on to the front of the card. I then placed the floral topper (which I had edged in black alcohol marker) in the middle using a double set of foam pads so it had some height.
I also used a "With Love" sentiment that I took from the "A Year Book of Sentiments" from Craftwork Cards which I had placed on some black card and stuck it on using thinner foam pads. I then added a flower die (Sue Wilson Creative Expressions die) in black card and a white button for the centre.
For the inside, I stamped the word "Love" in black Versafine ink (which is from an EK Success range).
And there you are a quick and easy card that is fun to make!
