Gold Dotted Flower Frenzy ~ CCMC347, Fusion Challenge, & PP236


Yay!  It's Create with Connie and Mary's Thursday Challenge!  This week we have a unique sketch for you !  The designers have all been very creative when it comes to this sketch, so be sure to hop over to the challenge site, check out everyone's awesome work, and then play along!  
I'm also entering this into the floral Fusion Challenge.  I loved the vibrant colors of the flowers in the pictures, so that's the part that I used as inspiration.  Obviously I didn't use the sketch :)


I cut two flowers from the flower frenzy die in Rich Razzleberry cardstock and then sponged the tips with Blackberry Bliss ink.  I then cut three of the star-burst flowers out of Marina Mist cardstock and sponged a bit of Marina Mist ink on the tips of them as well.  Using my bone folder, I curled the petals of each flower slightly to give it more dimension. 
I added a loop of gold sequin trim and Marina Mist 1/4" ribbon to make a "leaf".  I placed the whole thing on a peice of Gold polka dotted vellum, which I totally love!  I do have to say that this card is much more stunning in real life with all the glimmering gold.  I kept if fairly clean and simple, which is odd for me! I'm also gonna add this to The Paper Players 236 CAS floral challenge.  

Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: none
Ink: Blackberry Bliss and Marina Mist
Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss, Marina Mist, Gold Fancy Foil designer vellum
Accessories: Floral Frenzy Bigz die, gold sequin trim, !/4" Marina Mist ribbon

Thanks for taking a peek!
Jenny
