FTTC118–Inspiration Challenge

 

Hello everyone~

Flower Topiary

It’s time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC118)!! This week, Tammy is challenging us to create a card/project using the paper flower topiary (on the right), made by Julia Sandvoss as an inspiration - Please give credit to Julia when you are going to upload her creation for your blog post.

You can visit Flourishes blog for more detail about how to play. Can’t wait to see your card/project!

 

 

 

 

Here is my card using the inspiration.

I used the newest released set, Wedding Bliss for the main image and sentiment. I simply stamped them with Memento tuxedo black and sponged the mat with ink. Then the mat was layered on the tag that was cut with SB Fancy Tags Three. The background was stamped with the image from Butterflies & Blossoms. I embellished with the flower embellishments (the rose was made with paper punch by me) and satin ribbon.

I used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketch 108 (SSS108).
