As it's the first of the month it means we have a brand new challenge over at AAA Birthday challenge. This month's theme is 'for the girls' and we all love our flowers and girly images so I'm sure it will be a popular challenge. Our guest designer this month is Brenda so please pop over to her blog and leave her some love.
I decided to go with flowers for my card as there was a recent incentive stamp & die set from Gina K that I hadn't used yet and wanted to show some love. I went with a bright and happy yellow, grey and black colour combo that I think would brighten anyone's day. I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by stamping the image onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured it with my Promarkers and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also cut three more from white card so that I could stack them up using liquid glue. I used some patterned paper from an older GKD 6x6 pad and cut it out using the plain rectangle from master layouts 21 and I also cut 2 arches from white card from the same ML set. I added a black mat layer to the paper panel and adhered them together with double sided tape. I stamped the sentiment using black ink onto the smaller arch and glued both the arches together using liquid glue. I added the flower image to the bottom right of the arch using liquid glue. I added some scrap white card behind the arch and adhered into the paper panel with double sided tape. The panel was adhered to the card base with double sided tape and I finished off with some yellow pearls. For the inside I cut a white panel, again using the rectangle from ML21 and added a black mat layer. I added a strip of the patterned paper to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue and stamped a sentiment in the centre with black ink. I stamped, coloured and die cut another flower spray but felt it was a little too large for the inside so decided to trim the bottom leaves off and also the top bud flower (although I did re-use the bud and one of the leaves but re-arranged them) and adhered it to the bottom right corner of the arch. The panel was then added to the card base with double sided tape.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
