Sent With Love

 


Greetings friends. For today's card, I used a Crocosmia die. I didn't know anything about crocasmia flowers. I just knew that the die was really pretty and delicate. Of course I had to do a Google search. They are part of the iris family and come in a large variety of colors. I will have to experiment with different color combinations. For this card, I followed the colors used on the die envelope.

To make the card, I cut out my leaves using green cardstock and then added a bit of G00 and G24 Copic markers for some shading. For the petals and buds, I cut the pieces out of white cardstock and added hints of Y32 and Y38 Copic markers.

For the background, I used a yellow heart I thought would pair nicely with the flowers. The heart die has little dots around the edges for embelishment. I decided to place a yellow rhinestone on top of any of the dots not covered by the flowers:

For a bit more interest, I sponged some Vintage Photo Distress ink around the yellow heart and white cardstock layer. I then added my sentiment and placed everything onto a green notecard.

Thanks for visiting today!
