Five Petal Flower Fun ~ CCMC250 & PP143

 

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary color challenge 250 & The Paper Players sketch challenge 143.

 

There are several sketch challenges that I wanted to participate in this week and this was one of them.  Most of them have banners in the sketch....I guess you could say it's a banner week!  LOL!  Anyway, here is one of many I hope to get done, so stay tuned!  Also, as luck would have it, the colors at CCMC this week happened to be a few I had laying out on my desk already.  Mostly because they are a couple of the colors from the new Sent With Love bundle.  I had pulled out these two designer papers because I thought they coordinated well together.  I also happened to have a gray base card already cut and folded  waiting to be used.  Kismet!  Love that!  When I looked at the sketch, I decided I wanted to use flowers for the circle shapes.  I punched out individual petals from the Blossom Petals punch, kinda folded or molded them around a pen to add some dimension and attatched them to a big glue dot on a punch circle.  The littler flower is from the Island Floral die.  I snipped a line inbetween each petal and formed them the same way as the bigger flower petals.  I wanted to stick with all ribbon for the banners, but the only ribbon in Calypso Coral I own is the 1/4" sheer ribbon from the Sell-a-bration catalog last year.  I just wouldn't work here, so I subbed in a embossed piece of cardstock.  A button and brad to finish of the flower centers and the leaf die complete my card.
