I was really excited to create a project for the theme challenge over at Festive Friday and I guess you could say I got a little carried away. I think it goes without saying that I went with the “FLOWERS” theme. Haha!
I think I am one of the few people in the Stampin’ Up! world to wait so long to order the Petal Palette products. I received them just the other day and couldn’t wait to use them for this challenge. I didn’t know what COLOR I wanted to use though. So, I started out by stamping and die cutting 6 of the floral images. I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends and colored all of the images in a rainbow of different colors. There is just something so relaxing about coloring. I love it!
Once I finished coloring the images, it made it even more difficult to pick just one. So, I just decided to turn them ALL into cards. This is seriously a personal record for me to create 6 cards in one sitting. Hooray for a good Netflix binge and some uninterrupted crafty time!
The first two cards in Pool Party and Daffodil Delight:
Next up Rich Razzleberry and Cherry Cobbler:
Finally Calypso Coral and Bermuda Bay:
Another detail that is tough to see in the photos above, is that all of the flowers (and the little bird) were brushed with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some shimmery accents. I may or may not be a little obsessed with using Wink of Stella lately. If I could paint the walls in my stamp studio with it, I probably would. :)
All of the cards have decorated “insides” as well. I just think it’s a fun detail to keep the party going from the front of the card. Don’t forget to stamp your envelopes, too.
