More time playing with the coneflower dies. I am loving the different effect you get by changing the intensity of the ink blending over the different layers.
Once again, the Mood Board for Beautiful Blossoms has inspired my colour choices for the flower!
This card started with an ink-blended background that was masked off to create a frame within a frame. Two different yellows were used, water splotches added, then set aside to dry.
The coneflower petals were cut from offcuts/snippetts, ink-blended using oranges & yellows then arranged/layered accordingly using liquid glue.
The leaves were die cut and a stem was cut manually, then ink-blended with two different greens and placed on the cardfront.
I really like the way the petals fall over the edge of the yellow frame.
'just for you' sentiment was cut from some left over gold reflective cardstock (more snippets) and placed on cardfront which was then added to the front of the white 300 gsm cardbase.
I am loving this die set .......
