We're already almost halfway through the current 30 Day Coloring Challenge, and I haven't managed to participate, so I pulled out the Mondo Peony set from Ellen Hutson and got to work.
Normally I like to color my flowers in very bold colors, I think light tones scare me. I decided to try my hand at some light colors for this one, using R000, R00, and R02.
Once I had my flowers colored, I fussy cut them. I do have the coordinating dies for this set, but wanted a really crisp clean look without the little halo that comes with coordinating dies.
I paired this first flower with a really gorgeous print from an old Studio Calico paper pad. The print was trimmed down so it was centered on my panel. To add a little interest, I used a cutting knife to trim out portions of the pattern.
The patterned paper was adhered to a white panel, and then to my card base.
The flower was popped up with foam tape, and I added a sentiment from my Lovely Lotus set for Neat and Tangled which was also popped up.
For this next card, I used some patterned papers from Pinkfresh Studio which was fussy cut with scissors.
The background paper with the elongated hexagons was cut around the pattern to create a dynamic edge. I added a strip of another patterned paper from the paper pad at the bottom to ground the panel, and then used foam tape to pop up the fussy cut piece.
The flower was then adhered to the panel, and another sentiment from Lovely Lotus was added.
It's been quite a week here! Hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy!
