I’m sorry I missed posting for a few days but I have a soft and creamy project to share with you today. The Splitcoaststampers Ways To Use It challenge this week was to create a Valentine project without using pink or red. I knew I wanted to make something with flowers and chose a soft aqua and cream color combination to work with.
I stamped the Morning Glory frame image on vanilla cardstock using Adirondack aqua ink and then die cut the oval double matted frame opening using Nestabilities dies. I embossed the base layer inside the frame using the Stampin’ Up! Lattice folder to add texture.
I made the flowers using three different size daisy punches. I added a pearl the the flower centers and arranged with the leafy flourishes. I would normally not use only two flowers on a project because things always look better in odd numbers. I actually created two smaller flowers to accompany the larger one but it just didn’t seem to work out so I left the second one off. You can see step by step photos of how I create my flowers by checking out my punched flower tutorial.
I really love how this turned out and think it would be the perfect frame for a wedding photo.
I have been asked often to show pictures of the punches or dies that I use to create the flowers on my project. These are EK Success Daisy Paper Shapers.
