This week's color inspiration is once again from
I made this Birthday card for my Dear, Sweet, and Thoughtful Friend Beverly!
Most crafters will probably choose to use the garnet and green as accent colors but I chose to just go for it and make them the main colors of my card and use cream for my accent. I think that cake is so spectacular and wanted my card to make a statement as well!
Check out the cards from the other CR84FN Design Team members as well as the FAB creation from our Guest Designer, Deb Hickman! This is Deb's last week and she has been WONDERFUL! (All are listed in my sidebar.)
Here is a close up of my flower. For a little something different on the leaves, I ran them through my Cuttlebug with the PTI impression plate and then just layed my ink pad down on the raised side to create that grainy look. I kinda like how it turned out. The little twist in the button is a tiny sliver of paper that I curled over a pencil. I also sprayed the flower with Perfect Pearls to give it that sparkly look.
I hope you like it! Let me know!
