With all of that wonderful open space, I wanted something dramatic. I have a number of wonderful flower builder stencils and decided to add a full meadow of flowers. This is Pinkfresh's Enchanting Meadow.
After I got the colors layered up, I didn't love my choice of dark greens. I didn't want to start over so that led me to the sentiment. I had planned on a sentiment strip so as not to hide any of the flowers - but I ended up with the bigger "alleluia" so the green I don't like just peeks out. I think it ended up working beautifully especially with my need for Easter cards.
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches. I'm looking forward to seeing what everybody does with the open space!

ReplyDeleteYour meadow of flowers is gorgeous - love it against the brick wall!
ReplyDeleteI like the texture from the brick background and your meadow of flowers! This is lovely, Kim!
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your card. How did you make the alleluia? It looks 3D. I'm rather new to card making...
ReplyDeleteThanks
It's foam adhesive and I don't think I could craft without it!! It's not hard to find - all craft stores have it. If you shop online such as at the Simon Says Stamp, just search on "foam adhesive". There's quite a variety. I like the Scrapbook Adhesives brand and I almost always use the thin foam (the thicker is nice, but hard to mail). They are little square that pop on the back and give that dimension!
DeleteOh this is a gorgeous Easter card! I love those flowers and the sweet little butterfly! Looks perfect with that brick embossing folder!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I love the brick background & the large sentiment is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so pretty. I love the big sentiment. Perfect focus!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! All the elements work perfectly and the colours are so pretty - even all the greens :)
