For All You Do

Hi there.  Kim from Katydid Cards, happy to be here with you today.

I'm using a product with which I haven't had much experience, the Solid Colored Paper Flowers.   I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and can't wait to try again on another project.

For my card today, I used the White and Light Pink flower packs.  They come in packs of 40 in three different sizes.   For the flower centers, I used the Amber 10mm Silver Edged Brads.

These flowers stand out beautifully against the turquoise blue of this card-in-a-box "mason jar".   Mason Jars remind me of homespun goodness; so I thought it was a perfect backdrop for this Mother's Day card.

I sponged the flowers to add a little depth to them.  Yellow in the centers of all and pink on the outer edges of the pink flowers...the ridges in the paper flowers take the color beautifully.  I used the medium and small flowers to make white flower in the back and the large and medium on the pink flower in the foreground.

I wanted small flowers to accent, so I tried using a punch on the petals of the largest flower.  They cut beautifully!  I didn't have small, single rhinestones for the centers of the small flowers, so I cut a few from the Clear Swirl Bling after coloring them with a Copic marker to match the larger stones.


For the sentiment, I made something very simple using the Alex Brush font in gray to match the lid.

That's it for today.  Thanks for joining me!  See you next Saturday!
