This month's inspiration is all about pairing up beautiful summer colors as
this wonderful season begins to come to a close. Put together some citrusy hues
along with some pretty floral images to create the perfect project that embodies
everything summer. We look forward to seeing your creations
OK, this is not my best work. I had a vision and it didn't quite come out the way I saw it in my head. I had a crazy busy day and did not get a chance to have a do-over, so this is it! I used Harvest Gold card stock that I ran through a Damask Impression plate. Berry Sorbet CS was cut with the "pointy" Half & half. I stamped 3 of the small Pretty Peonies flowers with Berry Sorbet and Melon Berry ink. I trimmed the leaves off two of the flowers and stacked them around each other. I stamped 1 set of the "outline" leaves, and trimmed them up, too. They were all adhered on the rectangle frame stamped in Summer Sunrise. I stamped the sentiment on Smokey Shadow. I think that is what I am disappointed with. I think it needs to be on a Double Ended Banner ~ or something... I tied Berry Sorbet twill tape in a knot. I added a Berry Sorbet Tiny Tag with a resin flower, to balance the bottom.
Thank you for looking at my blog!

I love the Pretty Peonies die! My current fave. The card is very nice.
ReplyDeletePretty card! Great layering and texture!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of the Half & Half dies, so I love that you used it here and the peonies are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love all the texture and think the card looks great!
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out really pretty...but I know how it is when you wish you could change something but run out of time! I'm bad about that!! Give yourself a break on this one...it looks great!! Pretty layout!!
ReplyDeleteSoooo pretty! I totally love all the texture! fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI totally get it when you want to change just "one little thing", but I think this turned out great. I love the texture of the harvest gold. I also liked the way you added the flower under the ribbon to balance things out. Good job, my friend.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Susan. I love how your embossed background looks like the field of muted flowers in the inspiration photo!
