The color challenge over at the As You See It Challenge has a wonderful palette for us to work with this week. I think these are fab colors to use for a spring card and I paired them up with some gorgeous blossom images.
I'm using the upcoming Impressions Abloom bundle to put this card together. I love the darker Gorgeous Grape and Garden Green paired with the more pastel looks of Peach Pie and Fresh Freesia.
I started with a piece of the Beautiful Bokeh DSP in Fresh Freesia for a soft background for the flowers to pop against.
I made a frame with the Impressions Abloom die set which contains this lovely "squoval" shape with a fun frame detail. It's 2 dies so you can use either shape on it's own if you want. I stamped the sentiment from the retired Layering Leaves stamp set in Garden Green.
The flowers are all stamped with Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape and Peach Pie. I die cut them and also used the accent die that makes great texture marks on the petals. I added greenery cut from Garden Green Cardstock. The flower stem on the left are popped on dimensionals.
I cut out a some smaller flowers in Gorgeous Grape and scattered those around the card front and then added a few retired Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to finish it off.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?

Yes, the colours were just perfect for this bundle! I think the oval frame is the hidden treasure in the die set for sure. You've made great use of it. Thanks for sharing this bit of spring joy with us at As You See It.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Amanda! I love your showcase of this upcoming set - I'm a little on the fence, but as usual you are pushing me right off, lol. Great way to showcase the colors for sure! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteWhat a merry little card, making great use of our challenge colours! I love that you used smaller images amongst the few larger florals and it just created a really fun vibe! Thanks for playing along this week at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteI love that unique "squoval" frame...somehow I missed this one! Your flowers are perfect to fit into it and that DSP is equally perfect! Very springy! Thanks for playing with our As You See It colors this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Amanda! The softness of the bokeh paper compliments those bold blooms beautifully. Can't wait to play with my set! Thanks for playing along with us over at As You See It this week!
