One of our new Design Team members, Jules, chose this round’s colors. It’s not one I would have thought of, but it makes a lovely floral.
Initially, I wanted to create a card with a more geometric or patterned feel, but you can see I ended up with a floral from Simon Says Best Friend Ever stamp set. I pulled out some coral and sage cardstock and matched the Copic markers to that before coloring, using two markers on the leaves and two on the petals.
For the background, I chose Pinkfresh Studio’s Deco Tiles coverplate which I love–especially when it’s tone on tone. And it helped satisfy my desire for some geometric design in the card. In the photo below you can see the pretty gold foiling from the Spellbinder’s hot foil plate Everyday Sentiments.
Making the card wasn’t a struggle, but photographing was a whole other story. Trying to get the light right for the foiled sentiment did change the light on the rest of the card as well. I finally had to just settle for what you see.
I hope you’ll join our two Guest Designers and the Design Team at Color Hues during the next two weeks.
Oh, this is so elegant and filled with such pretty details, Karen! What a great effect you got using Copics and colored card stock for the florals. Beautiful!
Karen I love everything about your card! That background is amazing and the beautiful flowers coloured so perfectly. Well done Karen!! xo
Lovely card – I like the 3d background – adds an extra element.
Foil and mirror card are indeed a beast to photograph Karen but it’s the flowers on the fab background that shine. Super card. 🙂
That background is so cool, Karen and your florals so pretty! Such a great card! I enjoyed our chat the other day! Stay warm if you can.
I love mixing geometric designs with florals, and your card hits all those notes and more Karen, plus the CAS design lets both shine. I feel your pain about photographing metallic – angling your camera like you did in the second photo can help a bit in my experience. And I refuse to give my metallics lol!
Gorgeous card!
This is the perfect mix of florals and geometrics! Very pretty. We all know the struggle with foils and shine so you’re in good company. Thanks for making my color duo so pretty!
I love the geometric coverplate! Wow!!
