Hi All! Thought I'd play along with this month's blog hop at Papertrey. The challenge this month was to use the color yellow.......FUN! I don't use yellow nearly enough so it was great to let it be front and center on my card today.
I heat embossed some large polka dots from Polka Dot Basics with clear embossing powder on the yellow card stock and the sentiment is from Heart Prints. The leaves are just ones that I hand cut -- I just eyeballed 'em. They're definitely not perfect but it doesn't really matter, because after I cut them out, I stamped some Background Basics: Text Style on them and then I used my Heidi Swapp edge distresser on them to rough up the edges. That took care of any unevenness from when I cut them out. :)
As for the flower itself, I literally just tore random circle shapes out of card stock in varying sizes. Then I roughed up the edges with my edge distresser and then curled the edges forward with my finger. Nothin' to it!! And of course, I topped it off with a dark chocolate button and some twine. Super fun and so easy!! You too, can have those fancy, store-bought looking flower embellishments that are becoming so popular just by using your card stock and making some up yourself! Don't you just LOVE that?!!
Be sure and check out all the other blog hop participants and see what they created using yellow too! You can find the complete blog hop list in the Papertrey Forum. Hope your Memorial Day has been a great one!
Have a goodie!
