I thought I'd use up some of my scraps and make some of these pansie cards for Convention swaps but it looks like most of the colors I chose will be retiring.
I used the Pinking Border Punch on the background; the Simple Flower Embosslit for the pansies; the Two-step Bird Punch for the leaves; the Trio Flower Punch for the forget-me-nots.
To make the pansies scribble on some color with Summer Sun and Elegant Eggplant markers. Scribble on some highlights with a white water color crayon, Sponge the edges with Lovely Lilac then spritz the flower with water.
To make the forget-me-nots, punch flowers from Bashful Blue card stock with the Trio Flower Punch. Lay the flowers on a soft surface like on your adhesive remover. Pick up some pink with the tip of a stylus and press it into the centre of your flower.
I posted some photos below if you need a visual.
Ohh Jackie - I love your potted pansies. So creative you are. Thanks for the inspiration!
Cheers!
