Over the weekend, I started out wanting to use a die cut flower for the JUGS challenge. What began as a simple search for the right flower, turned into looking at past classes to remember how to use the chosen flower. And then realizing that my aunt - the last remaining of my mother's family is having a 98th birthday soon. Thus, my title: A Very Special Person. Here's the card!
Ample ink blending provided the background panel and all the colors of the flowers from Altenew's Fresh Flowers Die set. I used Fresh Dye Inks in Teal Tempest, Honeydew Melon, and Blush Rose. It's amazing how you can blend the Honeydew Melon - a greenish yellow with the teal and get a new shade of pale green. ALso used the melon to tone down the pink on the petals.
The sentiments are from the Cascading Flowers stamp set. Embossed in gold. I tried so many different sentiments out but ended up liking this best. The big happy Birthday will be inside.
Thanks for hanging in there with this post. I am going to leave these supplies out in a prominent place so I use them again before I forget how! Have a great day.
