I usually keep a bunch of scraps, embellishments, die cut pieces and stamped images around for future projects. Sometimes, I don’t know what to put together so I play around with composition mixing and matching elements together. That’s what I was doing when I made this one card.
I water colored the tulips using Catherine Pooler’s Party Collection inks (Fiesta Blue and Grass Skirt) and die cut them, then set them aside, Also, I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the petals. The vintage pattern paper I had for awhile and I had some green cardstock that I cut into a panel just shy of A2 size.
I wasn’t sure if I would like the color combos of blue and brown and green but when I kept playing with placement, I found that I really liked how this card was turning out.
The blue petals kinda makes this card pop out more especially with all the green. The sentiment strip I also had in my stash so it was so cool to have it ready cause it fit perfectly with this card.
Sometimes you don’t have the follow the rules of design to come up with an easy and cohesive image. The more I look at this card, the more I love it!
