I've always been a fan of bright colors on a dark background, so that's where I started with these two cards. Both use Spellbinders Fresh Picked Buttercups.
I die cut these buttercups with Concord and 9th's Buttercup cardstock (a perfect match!) I added some ink blending with the same C&9th ink to the middle of the flower before adding a die cut center from orange cardstock. The leaves were die cut with Paper Source's Clover cardstock.
I die cut a piece of black cardstock with Concord & 9th's Triangle Background die and added it to a Buttercup card base. The sentiment, gold embossed, is from Pinkfresh Studio's Basic Banners: Celebrate.
The flowers here were die cut from white cardstock and ink blended with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I added yellow enamel dots for the centers this time.
This time I die cut the black panel with Simon Says Detail Petal Coverplate, and added it to a black card base with dimensional foam. The sentiment is from Pink and Main's Special Day which is one of my most used sentiment sets.
I'm sending these off to TicTacToe where I used the diagonal Flowers, Free, Die Cuts and to Triple B - always looking for Birds, Butterflies, and/or Blooms.
