For You!

Happy Sunday!  I am popping in with a card to share.  I am playing along with Papertrey Inks Transformation Tuesday Challenge.  

The card I chose to transform is this one.  You can check out the blog post on it HERE.

I realized there is not much similarity between my transformed card.  Truth is... I did not like it.  I did use the recessed focal image concept, though.  I started with some Papertrey Ink Mint Julep Bitty Big Color Collection and The Studio Paper Mint Berry paper pack.   I just love these colors together.  I do not think I have ever used this color combination.  I cut the Mint Julep tiny polka dot pattern to fit an A2 sized card.  I cut the Berry Mint pattern using one of the Noted: Simply Stitched A2 Vertical dies.  I layered the floral pattern using some foam tape for dimension.   

Next, I focused on the focal frame. I used some stampers select white card stock and die cut the Shape Shifters:  Square 1 die.  I left out the center die cut.  I used the Window Works die the oval one and it was a perfect fit.  I added the frame to the card using foam tape and turning it at an angle so the corner point was at the top.  I recessed the center oval using some Tombow aqua glue.    Next,  I die cut and stamp the rose cluster image from The Sweet Life stamp set and The Sweet Life die collection.  I used Tim Holtz stamping platform.  I used lovely lady, hibiscus burst, raspberry fizz for the flowers and mint julep and ocean tide  inks for the leaves.  I added the flowers and leaves using some foam tape. 

For the sentiment I die cut the "for you" using Especially You die collection.  I die cut the words four time using stampers select white card stock and one time using raspberry fizz card stock.  I glued the layers together for added dimension.  I love how these words nestle perfectly inside the oval. I finished my card with a few clear sequins.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
