 | | I made this and the next card for Frenchy's Friday Face-off; see her blog here - http://frenchysstampinblog.blogspot....eak-peeks.html. I loved all those bright primary colours even though I hardly ever use them, and the desk and chairs brought Harry Chapin's song *Flowers are Red* to my mind straight away. I can't have heard it for over 25 years!!! So a double whammy, because for the last two weeks I've been trying to find inspiration for the Dirty Dozen theme this month, and failing miserably.
So this was the first card I made. I used that bunch of light shades as my starting point, and cut strips of paper and layered them on each other and then stuck them to the card base. I used bright colours for my flowers, and then matted them onto blue from the rug and brown for the floor. Then I just added some Primas, a filigree brad and a green brad and that was it. Oh, not quite - I stamped the leaves from Embrace Life over the background in Versamark just to unify the whole thing.
If you don't know the song, check out the lyrics here - http://www.harrychapin.com/music/flowers.shtml, and maybe you'll see why even after about 25 years without having heard it, the lyrics still stick with me. |
