I'm currently in my pastel/Spring phase so apologies for lots of pinks etc
I used Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamps, heat embossed in white, watercoloured with Gansai Tambi and fussy cut. The leaves are a Tim Holtz die and also watercoloured. I also used Memory Box Chloe stem, die cut from linen cardstock to add interest. For the hexagon I first used Weathered Wood Distress Ink to create the wood grain then just die cut the shape.
I was stumped for ages trying to find a sentiment, then I remembered my old box of metal embellishments I used for my scrapbooks. After finally finding said box, I was delighted that they really suited the card and that was it... done and dusted.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I don't find 'flower arranging' on a card very easy and I think you've done a great job.
