Hello
After my not following the rules for The Colour Tree Challenge I decided to have another go. I also have no excuses for not having a go at the Spring Planter Box tutorial Bronwyn kindly gave all participants from Challenge #1.
This will be given to a friend who had a birthday last week – late I know but we wont see each other til next week so all OK.
I have used the correct colours this time for the challenge at TCTC #4 here
Instead of stamping with the hardwood stamp set I inked up my Sizzix Woodgrain embossing folder with crumb cake ink (an allowable neutral I think) and embossed the pieces. I also substituted in Sizzlits Little leaves die which I used to make the leaves from Pool Party Cardstock. I created the flowers on calypso coral and daffodil delight cardstock with calypso coral marker and daffodil delight ink. I used SU Petite Petals and SU Flower shop stamp sets. I created the little Happy Birthday tag using SU Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set stamped in tip top taupe and die cut with Tag and Labels Framelits on very vanilla cardstock. The twine is white Baker’s twin. I die cut the butterflies using Bold Butterflies Framelits.
Thanks for stopping by
Cheers
Vicki
You are certainly very keen, Vicki, to give this colour challenge another go. I’m pleased you have tried out the planter box card – it looks awesome! Thanks for joining in with the challenge at TCT.
Thanks Bronwyn. I found the tutorial very easy to follow.
Absolutely so sweet Vicki! Great choice of colours and the embossing folder was genius, this will bring a smile to some lucky person!
Thanks Therese.
Your friend will love this, Vicki! I thought at first look that it was 3D art room decor, not a card! If I were her, I would set this card on a corner table and enjoy it every day! It’s as pretty as any bouquet of flowers, if you ask me, and I think inking the e/f was brilliant! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
Thanks Darnell. She does like having lots of things around – perhaps she will keep it in her home office for a short while.
