My Time to Craft DT - Flowers

Good morning! I hope your weekend is going swingingly!

We have a lovely Challenge at My Time to Craft it's Flowers Very topical here in the Northern Hemisphere, where the Spring flowers are beginning to bloom; and also topical, I hope, in the Southern Hemisphere, where you'll be enjoying Autumn flowers!

So we would like to see creations where the focal point is a Flower or Flowers. Just using a floral background paper doesn't cut it, I'm afraid!!

My Flower is Fresh Freesia by Altenew, and the card was made for a special birthday for a lady at Church who loves freesias. The Flower Team made her a special arrangement, and the freesias smelled wonderful!

I heat embossed the outline stamp on watercolour paper using Wow! Gold Pearl Embossing Powder, and Inktense Pencils and a water brush to colour it in. The sentiment on a strip of vellum was also embossed in the same Gold Pearl Embossing Powder; and finally I added some sequins from stash. I like the CAS look, I think it emphasises the gorgeous stamp!!

I also covered the edges of the card base with Versamark and added more of the embossing powder to give a gold background to the panel.

Go and see the varied and beautiful interpretations of the theme by my talented teamies, you'll be impressed and inspired!

One of the interesting things I've learned about flower arranging is that a focal point is just as important as it is with a card. It could be one single, large bloom, or a cluster of smaller ones. I've learned a lot about design from flower arranging!

Thanks for looking!
