Good Saturday morning. I hope you have had a good week. The Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers today has provided Creature Comforts as our inspiration site. I was inspired by an Inspiration Daily Fall post. I have copied the photos below.
I love to use mustard for fall projects and loved the leaves in the inspiration pictures. I was inspired to create a fall card with mustard colored paper flowers with lots of distressed foliage.
I combined scalloped die cut flowers and punched cornflowers to create a flower that looks like mums. I sponged all the flower layers with mustard ink and sponged darker layers of color on the sections closer in to the center to create more depth. I created two small mum buds using one punched cornflower for each and added to the floral spray for an additional touch of color. I distressed the foliage stems to add more dimension to the spray and added touches of the punched pine to soften the arrangement. I created a punched double matted frame and layered it over an embossed vanilla background, I love how this turned out. Here are a couple more views.
If you would like more information on how I create my punched paper flower projects check out the Tutorial section on my home page. Have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by.
