A second choice card...

I am posting a card that I made for CAS60 on SCS - a sketch based on my fellow-DT member Carly's card. I ended up using another card for that challenge but I still like this one...


Supplies:
Paper: SU (barely banana, sage shadow, basic grey, very vanilla)
Stamps: a muse (it's your day, simple wishes), PTI (Green Thumb)
Ink: Palette hybrid charcoal
Accessories: liquid pearls, pop dots, circle nestibilities, MS scallop punch, ribbon (SU)


I stamped 3 baskets on the circles and embellished the flower centres with liquid pearls. I added the scalloped edge and ribbon to ground the circles. The thing that took the longest was placing the flowers. I played around with that for 1/2 an hour!!

I have a few other cards like this that didn't end up being my first choice for the challenges that I will try to post over the next few weeks. Thanks for stopping by!

Love that you left the baskets of flowers uncolored and then added the little pops of color with the flower embellies. Such a great idea! I also loved seeing my blog (Show and Tell) on your "Get Inspired..." list. Made my day. :) Thanks!

Gorgeous card! I love your choice of papers and the little flowers really pop! I know exactly what you mean about taking ages to make a CAS card, they're definately harder than 'normal' ones!
