Try It Out Tuesday #19 - Forever Flowers

Happy Tuesday! Busy challenge day around here so I'd better get to it! For this week's Try it out Tuesda #19 over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and the store blog, Follow Your Heart, our challenge was May Flowers - flower up those projects until they are almost to the point of pollen overload!! That's a challenge I can get behind! I used this adorable new image from Victoria Case for SCACD called Forever Friends. Don't these two cuties look like they are having fun?!? Click the photo for the extra-extra large sized view!

For a little "extra" today, I combined the TIOT with our Twinkling Tuesday date! This week is a sketch so it worked out well for me! Here's the sketch:

So you can see where some of the elements on this card come from!

I stamped my image in Memento Tuxedo Black, and colored with Copic markers. I hand drew the background line and sponged green underneath and added clouds above using my cloud template. Instead of just coloring in the individual flowers all around these two, I went through and added some glue and shook on some Spring Mix Flower Soft. I think it looks more like a bloom of wildflowers surrounding their little party!

I colored a second butterfly wing and cut it out, then added it over the top of the main image using dimensionals. I cut the panel using Labels 4 Nestabilities and mounted it on a Petite Oval. I ran the red piece through the Cuttlebug with Swiss Dots for some more texture and cut the edge with a scalloped border punch. Snipped off the corners and added some Kaisercraft Rhinestones. The colors I used are Summer Sun, Riding Hood Red and Wild Wasabi. I pulled the color palette for the image from the Flower Soft mixture.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you play along with our challenges for today! Be sure to visit all of the other design team members, their links are in my left sidebar, and also the SCACD store blog to see all the TIOT projects in one place! The Victoria Case stamps are now available in the SCACD store, in fact I just ordered a couple myself last night! Head over and get some for yourself, they are TOO cute!! Susana has the best customer service and she ships SO fast - as always I was a customer before I was ever working for her so I know what I'm talking about, heehee!
