Dreaming of Flowers..

Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend!

Although I love this time of year in Wisconsin, as I have time off with the kids, there comes a point where being in the house every day because it is too cold to take them outside begins to get a little old. As of late, I have been starting to dream of warmer weather and being able to work in my flower beds and client flower beds.

So this card was inspired by flowers! I had so much fun making these flowers from scratch! Although it takes a little bit to make, I think they turned out so nice and look like I bought them! I got the idea to make the flowers from "Scrap A Little".

I used "Walk in My Garden" Cricut cart.  I was so excited to use this cart as its been awhile!!

I cut out the first flower "Daisy" on the cart in 3 different sizes and 2 of each.

I then used CI Paints to paint some yummy shimmer on them!!

I then used my paper piercing tool to curl the petals to my liking!

I then layered the flower together starting with the largest daisy to the smallest.  So this flower ended up having 6 layers. I played around with making them less layers and they turn out nice as well!

 Look at the shimmer!!! I used "Chocolate" paint for this one!

Finished card:

 Another "HAPPY DANCE" moment! I love how this turned out!!

Once again....

 look at that shimmer!!  The smaller flowers I used CI Paint "Turquoise".  The smaller flowers only have 4 layers. (2 different sizes)

Lastly I was inspired by one of my fellow DT members.  On Saturday Kassi did a tutorial with the Dabbing Brush from Inkadinkado.  I had gotten the tool last month and played around with it and the paints a little bit, but then kind of forgot about it.   I used the circle foam tip and dipped it in the cover of the "Ivory" paint jar (it fits perfectly, by the way) an first dabbed it on a scrap piece of paper and then on my embossed background!

I used "Ivory" to add some yummy shimmer to the swirls! Doesn't it look nice?!?!


Hope you have a great Monday!
