I decided to play with a few of my Spellbinder dies that I hadn't used in quite some time, and the results are shown here in my card.
I used grey and ivory as my main two colors and shades of purple as an accent that I mostly used inside. The layers were created using Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy dies and foam tape to stack and pop-up each layer. The greeting/sentiment is from Our Daily Design stamp set titled "Anchor." The edges were inked with Distress ink while still in the die.
I prefer to purchase my flowers from a select group, but sometimes depending on my mood I will attempt to create a flower using Heartfelt Creations dies and techniques. Not to mention that I am one of those folks that enjoys instant gratification so when the work has been done for me then why waste time practicing when I can have it immediately and in several colors. No I am not lazy...I have been known to make a flower or two in my crafting but mostly I prefer to purchase them.
For this card I used a mix of Petaloo (one of my favorite brands) and Recollections (my stand-by) flowers for the floral arrangement. A little White Gesso and Tattered Angels Glimmer Spritz was added for sparkle. Lastly I added a few Maya Road stickpins to the arrangement.
On the inside I used paper scraps and leftover graphic 45 designer paper as my basic background. I then used the smaller Heirloom Legacy dies to create space for a personal message. My last step was to make a matching envelope using scraps for the liner (no photo).
