Join us! It is MOODBOARD week at Just Us Girls. Denise, our newest teammate, is challenging us to take inspiration from this wonderful array of flowers. This week, incorporate the colors, the variety, the flowers(!) into your cards.
With all the colors, I didn't know what colors to choose. So I turned to my very handy Color Cube, and selected a few cards which included the colors above. I settled on card 242 below, and used the colors listed.
The cover die is new from A Pocketful of Happiness... and perfect for inlay! I chose papers that match the first five colors and used black for the background. I die cut the cover plate 10 times, once for each primary color (using dry sheets behind each die cut to keep the pieces in place), and five times for the background (discarding the black flowers). I lined each background with Scortape sheets (double-sided tape) and adhered the backgrounds to the card bases. Then I just started mixing and matching the flower die-cuts from the primary colors. With five primary colors, I was able to make five cards quickly. Each week, all duplicates are donated to "card" causes. To finish, I used gold paint to create dotted circles around the gold center dots. The sentiment is layered and mounted on vellum.
