Make a wish

Hi everyone!

I'm really not sure what's happening but I seem to be simply entranced by flowers at the moment. This is a card I've made for a friend to cheer her up...

The card size is 8" x 8" so I cut some white card to an appropriate size to layer up and started with DIs - Milled lavender first then Dusty concord. I wanted a 'blocky' effect so I just dabbed the pad directly onto the card:

Next came Worn lipstick then Spiced marmalade. A fine mist of water was applied to allow the inks to blend:

To contrast, Shaded lilac has been applied to tissue wrap which has then been torn and glued on in several places using Multi-matte medium:

Tea dye DI has been blended through Tim's Harlequin layering stencil and then the whole card has been edged with it:

Creative Expressions have this great Alpha stamp which I love, it was used with the Tea dye DI to add more depth:

Strips of a lilac pattern washii tape have been added to two pieces of brown card then Tattered leaves cut from them and edged with the Tea dye:

The Grand peony die has been used to cut the flower layers from purple and orange card. The upper layers have been snipped to remove petals then glued together to give them shape. Next came one of Tim's Simple sayings stamps:

The flower:

Completed:

Thanks for stopping by today, have fun!
