Hello friends!
Today I’m sharing a card where I played with contrast — pairing a bold background with a softer floral element. I really like how this combination helps the focal point stand out while still keeping the design vibrant.
The focal point floral element was made using the Craft-A-Flower: Japanese Anemone. I die-cut all the elements of it out of Solar White Cardstock and used ink blending to color them with inks from the Blushberry Bliss, Sun-Kissed Delights, and Jade Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Bundles. To do ink blending, I used both Mini and Micro Ink Blending Brushes.
After that, I assembled the Japanese Anemone flowers by adhering their layers.
To make the background, I used the Modern Leaf Background Bundle.
First, I created the “color cardstock” by swiping the Golden Honeycomb Fresh Dye Ink along a white panel.
Next, I impressed the Modern Leaf design into it using the Modern Leaf Press Plate and Melted Butterscotch Fresh Dye Ink. Using the Modern Leaf Stencil Set I colored the leaf design with the Amber Glaze and Melted Butterscotch Fresh Dye Inks.
Additionally, I added some ink blending around the panel edges using the Melted Butterscotch Fresh Dye Ink.
The panel was foam-mounted onto a white card base using the Instant Dimension Foam Tape. Followed by adhering the die-cut Japanese Anemone cluster on top.
The sentiment white-embossed on a black panel was made using the One-Go: Words & Banners and popped onto the card.
Red Cosmos and Summer Afternoon Enamel Dots finished off the card.
