A Blooming Good Day

This is one of those cards that looked better in my head than on paper—LOL! I made it based on Taylor’s latest sketch challenge. As soon as I saw the line of round elements in the sketch, I thought of a row of flowers, which would be a perfect fit for the Flowers & Showers theme of this month’s Paper Craft Planet DT gallery here. I paired the flowers with a sweet Pure Innocence image from My Favorite Things. I just ordered a few more of these images last night and can't wait for them to arrive.

The cute girl is colored with Copic markers. I chose the colors to coordinate with the patterned paper panel on the left side of the card. I assembled a line of different color, size, and shape Prima flowers from my collection to stretch across the bottom of the card. Glue dots hold the flowers in place and a dot of Petal Pink Liquid Pearls decorates their centers.

I wanted to stamp the sentiment directly on the cardfront, but there wasn’t enough room. I used a pair of punches to create a flower-like shape and added the sentiment to that, then attached it to the card with some foam tape.
