Use them all!

 I still had more flowers in my "left over" pile. Decided to put them all on one card. Popped them all up to give dimension.

Added some doodle dots to the background and used one of the fine frames for edging.

The Tranquility Set

Here goes with my second set using The Greetery Birthday Blooms. The first set, HERE,  was with the Altenew Enchanted Garden ink set. This time I went with the muted blues from Altenew Tranquility ink set.

For the first card, I used the Fine Frames Cover die with the rubber mat to give an embossed look for the background. Added white liquid pearls as embellishments.

The second card follows a sketch (but I missed the deadline - oops). I got the idea of fading out on the blending from Vicky's card. 

It was only when I was looking at the photo that I realised I had my wreath off-center from the faded strip. And I was too tired to re-do it. Sigh!

For the third card, I wanted to make it quite CAS. Lots of space to breath.

Which is your favourite?

Leaf Canopy Collage #1

Sometimes cards don't go the way you had planned ... they seem to have a life of their own.

I started with wanting a CAS card with the leaf canopy.  I played with the idea of having a pink strip, and the confetti below, but I got stuck! Asked myself all sorts of questions :

• Need to bring in the pink somewhere else. With what? Where?
• Where do I put the sentiment?
• Is it enough? Or too bare?

Do you ever second guess yourself too?

So then I splattered the background - having covered the leaves with their die cuts to protect them. But I didn't like it.  So I die cut them out.

Played around with other die cuts and stamps ... and instead of having 2 leaf canopy stamps, I only used one.  

Come back tomorrow for the second card.
