Coneflower

 I recently saw a coneflower die and wondered if I had anything that I could use to make one myself.  I found my old Tattered Floral dies and colored them and cut them part and layered them and I like how it turned out.  I used green cardstock for the leaves and just added a bit of ink to them. I cut my own stems. The patterned paper for the background has gold touches to it and the butterfly is some ephemera.


  • Tim Holtz - Tattered Florals die, colored w/markers
  • Spellbinders - Bitty Blossoms die (for leaves)
  • Memento - Pattern Cardstock
  • Tim Holtz - Botanical Layers (TH93554) (Butterflies)
  • My Favorite Things - Happy Greetings die
  • Impression Obsession - Sentiments II stamp
  • Nuvo - Golden Sunset Glitter drops


I would like to share my card today with Simon Says Stamps Challenge anything goes.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

    That's a lovely idea and very effective - it's so nice to adapt stash rather than buy new. The card is so pretty and the butterfly just adds the perfect touch.
    Have a great week,

    Say what???!!! Your colored die cut flowers look just like some kind of special purchased ephemera. You sure fooled me! I was surprised when you said you made them. Love the patterned paper background, too, and the butterfly ephemera. Well done, Connie!

    This is amazing! I really love the different shades of paper you used for the flower, that gave it such a depth.
