My black and white birthday card featuring A Pop of Cotton Candy won the Color My Heart Color Dare for the week which means, not only did I get a nifty Diamond Award to display on my blog, but I was invited to be this week's guest designer on the challenge to use Blush and Cranberry. This card uses the same layout and concept as this card, but what a difference color choices and embellishments can make! I used the Cricut Artist cartridge to cut three flowers (accent 1, page 73) in 3, 2.5 and 1.5 inches, sponged the edges and across the ends of the petals with cranberry ink, shaped the petals and then stacked them with pop up foam between the layers. I used the Cuddlebug Tiffany folder to emboss cardstock, carefully trimmed the edges with a rotary cutter and then cut off two inches from each end to make the top panels. For the bottom panel I laid a 4 x .75 inch piece along the long side of the frame to emboss it.

Thanks, Hansi for being guest designer this week! Your card is gorgeous with the little touch of cranberry around the pink petals. I love the embossing, too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card, Hansi! I love the large many petaled flower, dry embossing and flower center bling. It really is stunning! Thank you for being a Guest Designer with Color My Heart Color Dare this week--we are honored to have you join us!
