Floral Focus


Hello
I hope you're keeping well and managing to deal with this strange world we find ourselves living in.
Rather than waffle on for a bit, I'm going straight over to Nat, who has set the challenge this week for The Daring Cardmakers
 
 The world outside is certainly moving at a pace and we're all having to cope with many things outside of our control.
It's important to find some balance right now and I'm sure many of you are turning to your crafting projects for this.
Hopefully this week's dare will brighten your day and someone else's - even if you can't give them your card in person.
Your card project needs to have a floral focus this week.
Get those flowers front and centre!
Whether floral backgrounds, big stand-alone blooms, or dimensional flowers – let's bring the garden indoors.
Get stamping with vibrant inks, use your stencils for blending, crack open your stash of pens, or get your paintbrush at the ready.

You can see what our fab Design Team made by clicking HERE
I wanted to make something which would be fairly flat for posting, but still appear to have the layers and dimension that I love to use.
I also wanted to use a piece of inked up card created for a different project that I'd just come across again!  Perfect colours for a Springtime card

  Info
Soft White base card 
Card panel inked with lemons, peaches and pinks
Curvy border die to cut the shape for the coloured panel
2 x Tonic Scribble Circles dies cut in textured gold card between the background panel and the flower focus
For the flowers I inked up a few scraps of card to match the background
For the leaves various shades of green card from my scraps of green card box
Various petal and leaf shapes  from several manufacturers
White on Black sentiment was pc generated
To finish I added a few Nuvo Glitter Glue dots, and a line of the same along the curvy edged piece



That's all for today, I hope you like it, and that all our lovely flowers on the blog cheer you up!
 Please take care of yourself, and be mindful of others who are
 just trying to do the same for themselves and their families.
At this time more than any other we need to be kind to each other

  Thank You so much for visiting,
please leave a comment, I really love seeing your messages! 


Happy Crafting!

Gorgeous card Kathy, you certainly managed to pack in a lot of "flat" dimension which is always a challenge when posting projects. And the colours.... mmmm, so lush and vibrant!
