I took the inspiration challenge at Splitcoaststampers today and took the opportunity to get my Mother's Day card done. Last night my BFF mentioned using the 5th Avenue Floral set. It was still on my mind as I looked through the gorgeous Pinterest gallery linked up to this challenge. All the challenge details are shown here.
I chose a photo of an arrangement with peach/magenta roses and little purple flowers. I was also inspired by a photo of a ballerina's costume that included detailed lace and satin cutouts. To create mine, I cropped down a Silhouette border and then cut several individual pieces so I could curve them into the desired shape. They are coated with some iridescent ice embossing powder and linked with narrow white ribbon and a strand of beads. The sparkley doesn't show up that well in the photos.
I combined several stamp sets to get the floral arrangement. The rose is colored with watercolor crayons and the leaves are colored with colored pencils. The purple flowers are stamped with Distress Oxide ink.
It was a joy to just experiment and play making a card. Thanks for visiting!
Just beautiful
