Stamped the background (Impression
Obsession CAC Vines) Fluid Chalk pads in 2 shades of green. Stamped
it in the center of the card, since it was smaller than my card
front. Then stamped it again on the bottom and top edges. Adhered
the green narrow edged ribbon on the join points.
Electronically cut the words from white
cardstock. Used the flat of my colored pencils to color the letters,
adhered them to a die cut circle (Spellbinders Standard Large
circle), sponged various Distress blues. Applied Glossy Accents to
the letters and let dry. Then adhered it to a purple-y blue
decorative die cut circle (Marianne Designs LR0168).
I did the combing with the white
strips, folded it in half and inserted the tail end of the pink
strip down the center, glued the ends etc., then wrapped my petal a
few times with the pink strip. That was done using the whole comb of
2.5" so the petals ended up being 1-1/8" long. The smaller pink
petals used about 3/4 of the comb, with the combing done with light
pink strips and the same deeper pink to wrap.
The center of the flower is just a
tightly rolled coil, starting with a bright yellow, the the light
pink and then the deeper pink. I put some glue on the back side,
adhered a punched out circle and let that dry thoroughly. The cut
the coil in half with an x-acto blade.
I adhered the large petals flush to the
card. The smaller petals I adhered at an angle so there was more
dimensionality.
The butterfly was die cut (Crealie's
"Vivienne" BFly) from some decorated paper I made a while back. Cut
the under layer by hand and colored with watercolor pencils and a
water brush, when dry applied Sakura Stardust clear gel pen. Adhered
the layers at the body point only then onto the card.
