I made this card tonight for a couple different challenges combined! I used the color challenge from Create with Connie and Mary (Perfect Plum, So Saffron and Wild Wasabi), and I used the sketch challenge from Stampin' Royalty. I used the sets Printed Petals and Word Play (which will be part of a special sale starting May 1st!); and I used a lot of Big Shot dies and folders!
Here's a close-up of the main flower, stamped from the Printed Petals set in Perfect Plum. I layered the 1" and 3/4" circles on the center and then added the Saffron button tied with our new Baker's Twine (also coming May 1st - Yay, White twine!!).
The accent flowers are made with the little Sizzix die, Flower Fusion. Then I put the pieces in the Square Lattice folder and embossed them. I wanted them to coordinate with the card base.
One of my favorite things about this card is the texture! I used the Square Lattice and Perfect Polka Dots embossing folders to make things pop a little more. I didn't have my Designer Papers with me, but I think the Embossing Folders can really make plain cardstock feel more like a Designer Paper.
Thanks for stopping by,
Julie

I am loving your card! I love all the texture!! Great job layering the Top Note. I can't seem to mine to look that good. Thanks for playing the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary!
Graet job on the challenges you did an awesome job. I love the look of all the layers and the details.
Julie,
I love what you do with color. I was inspired by you for my own May card class. see me at www.craftingwithkim.blogspot.com
Wonderful job with the color challenge. Love that beautiful large flower! Thanks for playing Create with Connie & Mary!
So pretty and great details - each time I looked I saw something else! Thanks for playing at CCMC this week.
What great use of these two sets! Such a STRIKING card! Thanks for playing along this week on the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
Very pretty...love the layers on the flowers! Thanks for playing along with us on Create with Connie and Mary!
So fabulous. Green and purple is my absolute favourite colour combo. Thanks for joining us at Stampin' Royalty this week. (BTW, when I read your profile I chuckled because it could have been mine. I am a teacher, a mother of 2...)
Absolutely adorable! I love everything about it! Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary challenge!
