Bloom and Grow

 

 Hello

Thanks for visiting. 

 

Today I’m sharing my card for this week’s Daring Cardmakers Challenge, 

 

Its Dawn's turn to set the challenge and its called

Bloom and Grow
What do you have planned to plant in your gardens and pots this year?
Show me on your card what you plan to grow.

HERE you can see some amazing cards made by the Design Team to inspire you

 

For the base card I used a smooth white square, then used washi tape to mask off the top and bottom areas before applying several pale blue and aqua shades of Nuvo mousse to the areas between

I inked both sides of some thin white card with ink in sunflower shades and cut the heads several times in each colour using a Joanna Sheen die

I used a ball tool to get some shape in each set of petals, then glued them together 

The centres were cut in brown card, which I covered with Glossy Accents, dropping some tiny beads into the GA while it was wet. Then adding them to the flowers

 The leaves were also cut from inked card using the same die set.

The flower pot is from another die set, I think it's a Tonic set. I used some red Nuvo mousse over plain red card to get a bit of a shine before I cut them

I added a 3 layer butterfly using an old Memory Box die

The Birthday sentiment is from a fabulous Spellbinders set (Simply Perfect Mix and Match Sentiments currently on sale, btw). Although the letters have really narrow lines these dies cut brilliantly - there are none of those irritating tiny bits that just refuse to come out!

Thank you so much for coming by

 Happy Crafting, Take care of yourself,
