I made this card for the Teapot challenge by Susan, One4Joy, to make a flower "mosaick" inspired by Mary Delany from 18th century England, who invented mixed media collage. Sabrina posted some of her artwork on the Teapot challenge page, and I can't wait to learn more about her life and art!
I have many different flower dies, but they take extra time to put together, so I usually tend to shy away from using them. I was so inspired by Mrs. Delany's art that I had just had to create a card with my flower dies.
I die cut everything and highlighted the centers of the flower petals. Used a stylus to shape petals and glued it all together. Then, decided to keep the flowers as the focal point, so I used a white die cut background on a white card.
I chose the word, "Faith" as I feel it's what we need right now. Faith in each other, faith in the future and faith in ourselves! Hugs to all!

What a glorious card this is Gracie. These 3D flowers are so beautifully made and arranged on your card in such pleasing arrangement. The textured white background reminds me of a trellis which is perfect for these lovely poppies. What a wonderfully inspiring sentiment this for not only these times, but for any time. You took this challenge and ran with it Gracie with this wonderful card! ~Karen.
