Botanical Blooms Lattice

 

Hi everyone,

Our weather here today is beautiful this morning. This card has no sentiment as usually I wait until I need one. This one is quite versatile so it could also be used as a wedding card. The card base is a larger 5x7 with a layer of white on top. The card stock was neenah white. I used the SU top note die and cut the center from the layer. I have also used the SU lattice die popping it up with dimensional. The flowers and leaves were done with the SU botanical blooms set. I love this set and find I am using it a lot. I used olive green for the leaves, melon mombo for the flower centers and butterfly layer. The butterfly was punched using ek success layering punch.  A very simple but gorgeous card for any occasion. I will enter this card into these challenges,

Gumnut Blossom

Hi everyone,

I have another watercolor card to share with you today. This gumnut blossom is so different and I had never heard of this blossom before and I found it to interesting so I just had to color it. I checked our some photos on google for colors they come in and decided on the bright pink. I printed the image onto artist loft watercolor paper and colored it with peerless watercolors. I decided to flick my brush afterwards with the green and pink to color the background. I decided to use a pencil and then with the pearl grey wrote in the name of the blossom.  I then added a few large sequins and one small sequin.When it was completely dry I layered the piece onto recollections black cs. The base of the cs is SU natural cs. I felt with the colors I used it needed a bit more color so I have used SU melon mombo cs in .25 strips to frame the image. I am pleased how it turned out. 

I will enter this card into this challenge
