I'm sharing a couple of Marimekko inspired cards today. I love their prints/bold florals, so thought i would try and recreate them with my Bold Flower dies.
There are five layers to the flowers in this die set, although you can mix and match and use then in different ways.
For the card on the left, I used the smallest petal layer along with the larger flower center die to create a bunch of flowers, and then adhered them to a white panel to create a print. I tried to mix up where the flower centers were placed within the petal piece as well as the orientation of the flowers on my panel.
I added a black mat, and a sentiment strip which was popped up with foam adhesive.
For the next card, I pulled out my old square punch, and cut a bunch of 1" squares using white, dark gray, and black cardstock. These were randomly arranged on piece of scrap paper that I ran through my Xyron machine, and trimmed down to size.
I created three flowers using the largest flower piece and flower center and adhered these over my background piece, trimming off excess areas.
I again finished things off with a reverse sentiment strip.
These were lots of fun to make and din't involve any stamping!
