Cornflower n’ Ribbon Card

Good morning  crafty friends,

 I wanted to share a card I created this week. So let's get right to it.

Here is a view of the completed card.

I used the Cornflower Card SVG set from PCW.

 

My flowers started as plain white cardstock.

I sponged some Ice Jade Cat’s Eye Chalk Ink on each petal layer.

I then sponged some Blue Iris Chalk Ink in the center. I then went back around the 

edges of the petals with the Ice Jade color to help “blend in the colors.

Next, I used a dowel to “curl” the petals and give them some shape.

I staggered the layers and off set and glued them together.

Next, I needed to create the centers. Again, I started with white cardstock.

I inked them with Blue Iris and Charcoal Chalk Inks.
I layered, staggered and glued them together also.

Here is a close up of one of the finished flowers. 

I added a Metallic Gem to the centers.

Here is another close up showing a side shot. I also used white cardstock 

for the leaves and stems. I used the Olive Pastel and Medium Green Chalk 

Inks to sponge the color onto the stems.

I wove some pink ribbon through the center Lattice panel. 

I think it gives the card some great texture!

Lastly I added the sentiment and some pearl gems on the four corners of the lattice background.

I used the following products to create this card.
