It's time for another Create with Connie and Julie Challenge! This week our challenge was a color challenge. Certainly Celery, Orchid Opulence and So Saffron! Not a color combination that I would normally come up with! I actually choose the colors based on the Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper.
I still haven't decided if I really like this paper. I love the colors, I just think the print is too big for me. For this card, I decided to embrace the large floral print! There is very little stamping on my card, only the sentiment is stamped.
I decided to cut apart one of the sheets of the Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper to create this flower. I started by cutting out the large main flower. I added a few leaves to balance out the card and then I started adding layers. Each layer was carefully cut out and the ends were slightly curled up. Each layer was popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals to give it a little more depth. I finished off the flower with a large button from the Button Latte collection.
I added some yummy Certainly Celery Satin ribbon to the front of the card. The sentiment comes from the Messages for Mom stamp set. It fits perfectly inside the Modern Label Punch. I added a couple of So Saffron brads and some paper piercing to finish off the card.
I cut out another one of the flowers from the Shades of Spring Designer Series paper for the inside of the card. I added a bit more Certainly Celery Ribbon to the So Saffron card stock to finish it off. Just before I took the picture I noticed that there was a blemish on my ribbon. Unfortunately, there was no way to replace it without ripping apart the whole card and I really didn't want to do that! So please just pretend that you can't see it! lol
