Celebrate

I entered Flourishes challenge called "Colors of Love", and I loved the challenge!
I had a totally different card in my head, but in the end, I saw some MME papers and changed the design.


I used Flourishes "Humming Along" coloring everything in with Tombows and Distress Inks. After I colored the flowers in, I cut it all out with my craft knife, and adhered it to the card with glue dots. The opening into the card was cut out with a Spellbinders Heart die. I used all MME "Lost & Found" papers and Zva Bling. The hardest thing to do, was color in the humming bird, actually. After a few tries to get it's colors right, and going from memory, I came up with this one. After I colored and cut it out, I placed it on a super thick foam popdot, so it would look like it was really hovering in front of the flower.



Here is a picture of the inside of the card. Even though I was going for a crisp white card, I am happy and loving the pink music paper on the outside of the card :) Because who's heart doesn't sing, when they are in love? :)

I started off thinking I might be in over my head in this challenge, since I have never really focused too hard on these three colors. I thought I wouldn't have anything red or pink to use, but I have more pink paper and embellishments then I thought I did.
All in all, it's all for fun and to challenge me to think harder on what works and what doesn't.

  5. Awesome coloring job on this card! You have made this a stop in your tracks card with your fussy cutting and then making the dimension with the heart cut out behind the trumpet vine and hummer. This is a card I will want to case in the near future! Great work!
