Just Add Ink Theme Challenge #323: http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/ creating a card that had things on it that started with the letter 'F'. I chose flowers because the colors reminded me of Clematis blossoms.
The curve that forms the card front was created using the "waves" die from the Swirly Scribbles set. I used the same die to cut the Mint Macron front panel before running it through the embossing folder and adhering it to the card base.
The flowers punched from Sweet Sugarplum were then sponged on the edges with Rich Razzleberry. The center of the middle flower was sponged with the same ink to create a more solid look before assembly. The stems were hand cut from a scrap of Mint Macaron.
The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White before punching it out with the retired SU Modern Label punch. Note that I stamped the sentiment far to the left, then cut off the excess on the right side of the label after punching it out.

Such a gorgeous card Donna! I love your pretty posy of flowers and your Mint layers and use of the Scribble dies create such a lovey and soft feel. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week, Jan :-)
I love that curved edge, and how clever to use the edge of the Swirly Scribbles die! This all goes together so beautifully! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
