Shelly's Images is a sponsor this week and I was generously provided with a beautiful image to use for my card. Here is what I came up with, using the bright colors and May theme from the photo for inspiration:
My card base and mats are SU Rose Red and my patterned papers are from the Little Yellow Bicycle Hello Spring 6x6 pad. The beautiful image is May Flowers from Shelly's Images. I printed it on XPress-It cardstock and colored it with my Copics. I added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls to the flowers in the umbrella. I cut out the image with my Cameo and popped it up over a background where I partially embossed the top with the SU Cloudy Day Embossing folder then colored in a sky and some grass with Copics. The sentiment is from Create With TLC. White Opal Liquid Pearls around the Spellbinders Lacey Circles frame finished my card.
Here is a close-up of the image:

Carla, your card is gorgeous. Love all your bright colors. Funny that I just ordered the SU Cloudy Day embossing folder Saturday AM since I thought it was so adorable and after seeing another sample with what you did with it, I'm glad that I did.

What a cute umbrella full of lovely flowers. I love it! Your embossed clouds are adorable.
ReplyDeleteA bit farther north from you, we had thunder boomers about 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Friday night, a lot of bad lightning. I want to see a lot of sunshine this week, don't you?
Stunning card, Carla. Love your adorable clouds and cute image. Congrats on your GDT. Fabulous make.
