I’m back with our half way reminder for our challenge over at The Flower Challenge and this time we want you to use your favourite flower.
So, you can’t get much different from a dandelion, than a half-hardy over the top frilly fuschia! Got to love their drama or understated elegance of the hardy version. We won’t mention how the mild winter, then hard frost, helpfully pruned mine from 4 foot diameter to 8 inches!
I dug out an older but definitely favourite flower set from Clearly Besotted for this card. It’s a multi layer stamp set and I used Pink Fresh Inks to stamp with, before using the matching die to cut out and them layered them up. They’re all the same colour, but the camera makes some look more pink! Obviously, I added a doodled border! There weren’t supposed to be any sparkle bits added to the card, but I dropped my ink pad and stamp when I was tidying up… moral of the story, tidy as you go!
Don’t forget to visit my amazing teamies and our fab guest DT for more inspiration and I can’t wait to see your creations!
Beautiful card, Cara. I love fuchsias, I bought two new ones only last week to replace the two I lost in the winter. xx
ReplyDeleteFucshia are such wonderful flowers and I used to have one to attract hummingbirds. You have recreated them beautifully, Cara.
