It’s Ornamental

This week the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary, there is a great colour challenge! I love colour challenges! This week, the challenge is to use the colours you see in this photo:

So, I decided I’d go with something floral as that is what I really was drawn to doing from both the photo and the colours. The base is So Saffron and I made a long panel on the right with Old Olive and Confetti White cardstock. To the bottom I added a little piece of Pink Pirouette which I’d textured with my Sizzix Big Shot and Texture Plates.

Above this panel, I wanted to add a vase of flowers but have no vase stamps so I used my Tree Trimmings stamp set and stamped one on some scrap cardstock in Basic Gray ink. I then cut off the top and bottom and added a little bottom of Basic Gray cardstock. For a little extra bling, I added a flat pearl to the top of the vase.

For the flowers, I used the Boho Blossoms punch and punched out a bunch in Real Red. I then used my Itty Bitty Punch Bundle and made centres out of Pink Pirouette. I watercoloured some So Saffron in behind the vase for a little back light.

To finish off, I added a strip of 5/8″ Real Red grosgrain and a saying which was stamped on Confetti white cardstock in Basic Gray ink and then sponged with Pink Pirouette and layered on Old Olive.
