The Paper Players #590 Freesia Florals

 It's Sunday! Welcome to my blog and challenge #590 at The Paper Players! I am loving my guest designer opportunity so much this year! Joanne has chosen wonderful colors for our challenge today, and they inspired an elegant floral encouragement card.



Dies are the star today, beginning with the white scrollwork cover plate. I liked using this to bring the brightness of white into the design. The flowers are from *new*to*me* dies that include embossed details and a stencil for adding inked accents. I applied ink to the edges of the leaves for shading. There are two different patterned papers I used for the images. 

Of course, I chose pearls to dress things up! 


 




I will be adding this to the Tic Tac Toe challenge choosing the middle row across: silver, flowers, layers. The bottom row works as well. Also, joining the lovely gallery at NBUS!

I can't wait to see what you will create for this challenge! I LOVE these colors together, can't wait to try them again. Thanks so much for your visit today! 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Beautiful, Cindy! The white scroll work is striking against the Night of Navy. I LOVE how you used two different pattern papers for the flowers...it really adds interest. Of course, you can never go wrong with pearl accents. Have a wonderful week!

So pretty, Cindy! I love the extra texture on the flowers from using patterned papers with the die cuts, and that white lattice pattern on the card base is so pretty!

What a fabulous way to use those colours Cindy! The navy behind the scrollwork cover die is so dramatic and makes a great background for those gorgeous flowers. I'm so glad they thought of adding embossed detail to die cuts!! Vicky x
