I created this card a while back for the last VSN as well as one of the Just For Fun Color challenges. For this card I used a sketch from the Go to Sketches magazine.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. The bottom two corners were rounded with a retired corner rounder from Stampin’ Up!.
A circle was cut out of October Afternoon Thrift Store paper and layered on a Medallion cut out of Neenah Solar White cardstock with the Kaleidoscope Pendant die from Spellbinders. Seashell silk ribbon was tied around the lower part of the circle layers.
The flower was cut with Kaleidoscope Pendant die and the flower that comes with the Scallop frame out of beige Tissue paper. I mixed Spiced Marmelade Reinker, water and Copper Perfect Pearls in a Mini Mister to create my own shimmer spray. The flower pieces were held together with a Recollection Brad and then sprayed with the shimmer spray. I dried it with my heat tool and repeated that process several time. Once the flower was a color I liked, I fluffed it up after the flower was dry.
The sentiment is from Verve’s Beautiful You. It was stamped on Neenah Solar White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut with Ribbon Tag die from Spellbinders. While the die was still over the cardstock, I sponged Spiced Marmelade Distress ink over it and stamped the accent stamp of Beautiful you in the same color. A small filigree brad (Stampin’ Up!) with a smaller Recollection brad was added to the left edge of the sentiment.
The inside of the card was layered with 4″ Whisper White cardstock that had the bottom two corners rounded like the card base. A 1 1/8″ x 4″ strip of October Afternoon paper strip was added to the lower half and the accent stamp was used with Spiced Marmelade to add a bit more interest.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles

This is a lovely card Beate. It reminds me of black eyed susans. I would like to try it with chocolate and orange, I think that would be cool too. Again I want to try to make my own polka dot background paper. The flower is beautiful.
