Another Stately Flowers Card

Hi there!  Hope your week has been good so far!  I'm scrambling a bit to make up for the holiday this week. Before I head out for the afternoon, I'm popping by to share another card I made with Melanie Muenchinger's gorgeous set, Stately Flowers 2.  Melanie was sweet enough to post it on her blog today.  This time I worked with the beautiful goldenrod image.  Each of Melanie's floral sets have such gorgeous and realistic flower images and they pair beautifully with so many different sentiments!

Here is my card:


I made another CAS card to allow the beautiful flowers be the main focal point of the card.  Again, I went to the internet for some inspiration photos to guide mu coloring.  I started with a 5 x 7 card base of Gina K. Designs Heavy Base Weight White.  I cut a piece of Layering Weight White and embossed it with one of the Sizzix Birds & Wreath embossing folders.  I matted this panel with Pure Luxury Wild Dandelion and Grass Green.  I stamped the goldenrod image from Stately Flowers 2 and the butterfly from Melanie's Make A State-ment set with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copic markers.  It's hard to tell, but I highlighted the flower and butterfly with Spica pens.  I popped up the butterfly and added a green silk bow.  My sentiment is from one of Melanie's earlier sets, Arranged With Love (another fave of mine).

Thank you for stopping by and Melanie, for sharing my card!  Enjoy your day and see you soon!
