Birthday Card | Guest Designer - Jaded Blossom | Flower Challenge

Hello!

I'm so excited to be the Guest Designer at Jaded Blossom this month and to be starting off with a card for this month's challenge, "Flowers." It's fun to try new color ways and this time I went with a bright cobalt blue/lemon yellow/teal color palette inspired by this photo of Italian ceramics. I will have to admit that it was a challenge to only work with shades of blue and yellow but I was happy with the final result!

I stamped Jaded Blossom's large bouquet from the "Flower Cluster" Stamp Set with navy ink onto 100# white card stock; the image was watercolored and fussy cut. I die cut a panel using the largest size of the Scalloped Rectangle Dies I and attached it to a card base. A striped panel was created by ink blending Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade DO Inks through a homemade stencil; the panel was sprayed with shimmer mist. Once it was dry, I adhered it to the scallop card front. 

I glued/stacked three of the blue frame pieces together (Octagon Die Set) , attached it to the striped panel with foam tape and the flower cluster was popped into place on top. I heat embossed one of the sentiments from the "Coffee Break" Stamp Set and separated the words for my birthday greeting! A sprinkling of cobalt sequins were added for a bit of shine to finish up the project. This card has a lot of great dimension because of all the layering and is sure to brighten someone's day! 

I can't wait to share more Jaded Blossom projects with you this month and showcase their amazing upcoming release! It's so much fun! Thanks so much for joining me today and have a great week!

Take care -
