It is spring time and the flowers are finally starting to
bloom here in Central Oregon! Our newest
challenge over at Retro Rubber is celebrating just that!
Come join us with your Flower inspired project! Remember to use at least one stamp that is
more than a year old and to enter 10 or fewer challenges including RRBC!
My Day Lilies are not blooming yet, but I was inspired to
use a set from Heartfelt Creations called Sunrise Lilies released in February
2016. The HC paper collections include a
number of panels just for card making, so I decided to use a pre-made card front
with wonderful printed layers. The
Sunrise Lilies were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Fantastix
in Versa Magic Mango Madness and Persimmon.
The leaves are colored in Tea Leaves and Sage. The stamens are die cut from black cardstock
and the tips are touched with the smallest amount of On Point Glue. The tips are then dipped in Recollections
Flock in Coral followed by Art Institute Ultra Fine in Sedona Sun. I tied a section of sage ribbon from my stash
in to a double looped bow using the Bows-It-All-V2 to finish the embellishments. The "Thanks a bunch" is also by Heartfelt Creations
from their Heartfelt Expressions sentiment stamp set from December 2010. It is stamped in Versa Magic Tea Leaves with
a bit of Versa Magic Sage lightly sponged over the top. After adhering the card panel to the card
base I inked the edges in Tea Leaves. Even
with shaping and assembling the flowers the card took about 30 minutes to
complete.
