Well hello again! Yes, it’s that time of the month – Papertrey Ink Blog Hop time and this month it’s all about flowers!
Now before I show you my card let me explain where I’m coming from! I’ve really been enjoying Tina Fussell’s (aka Travelling Mama) exploration of white on white. I know that flowers are traditionally bright and colourful but I wanted to use flowers in a different setting. Then I saw this photo on Pinterest and it got me thinking.
I liked the idea of using white on white but creating interest with layers and different textures. So after all this rambling this is what I came up with.
A totally white card! I know! I’m such a colour junky I wanted to add in a splash of lime or similar but I resisted and you know what, I quite like the result! I clear embossed the main panel with a woodgrain stamp to create a bit of texture. You can see it better in this photo.
I added a mat to the main layer and used dimensionals to adhere it to the card. Then added layers of die cuts, gems and a button. A simple sentiment stamped in grey finished it off.
And because I used Pinterest inspiration I’m also going to pop this card over to Laurie’s challenge too.
I hope you have a great time exploring the other blog hop participants.
