Good morning crafty friends,
I wanted to share a card I created this week. So let's get right to it.
I used the Cornflower Card SVG set from PCW.
![FLOWER TUT-1 FLOWER TUT-1](http://lh3.ggpht.com/-fGIFJWq8iog/UatkLMQ_zCI/AAAAAAAAe5k/wy4a6iCy4fM/FLOWER-TUT-1_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800)
My flowers started as plain white cardstock.
![FLOWER TUT=4 FLOWER TUT=4](http://lh4.ggpht.com/-JT_opWNCtQY/UatkMKaI1lI/AAAAAAAAe50/-tgOqg1Jzk4/FLOWER-TUT4_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800)
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!
I used the following products to create this card.

PCW File: Thinking of You DS
DCWV: Fresh Floral Stack-Patterned Paper
Gems: Robin’s Nest Dewdrops
Misc. Ribbon

ReplyDeleteWow I just had to say what a beautiful card that is, love the flower and how you created the backdrop.
ReplyDeleteMelin your card is absolutely stunning and your tutorial is brilliant. Is it okay for me to try this one with my pazzles? I don't have the same files but I have other files I could use. Thanks so much for sharing.

Another Stunning creation, Melin! Looking forward to getting the file and using it! I do so miss all of the Cornflowers growing along the Michigan expressways in years-gone-by!! Remembering... ;-} *sigh*
