Curtain Call Colour Challenge #51

WOWSERS what a big week!!  I haven't been at my stamp desk all week and I've missed it.   I thought for sure I'd get a chance to whip something new up, but it wasn't to be!

I was clever though, and did my DT card for the Curtain Call Colour Challenge last weekend when I had time.  Thank goodness I'd done that or otherwise who knows what you might have seen on my blog for this weeks challenge! lol

Speaking of this week - how's about we check out what colours we're playing with?

Aren't they just lovely?  I took alot of the inspiration for my card from that gorgeous blue bed head in the photo as you'll see! 



I tried to recreate the look of the 'bed head' by stamping the squarish image from the Baroque Motifs stamp set onto Marina Mist card stock, and then punched it out with my square punch - I did that 9 times.  Then, I arranged it in a similar pattern to the bed head .  That was a very simple way to make a fancy looking background I thought! lol! 

I know you'll want to know how I made the flower too.  I had alot of questions when I made one similar on this card.  It's honestly so simple.  You'll need the Daisy Flower # 2 die to make it, which has 3 different size flowers on it.  This die was available in the US through Stampin' Up!, but I purchased mine from here!  It's a gorgeous die - you must buy it! lol

Now, all I've done to make the flower, is run it through the big shot using Whisper White card.  Then, I've  cut each flower in half (you'll get 2 flowers made by doing this!) layered them on top of each other and secured them with a 1" circle cut out of So Saffron card! I then made the base of the flower stem by using a another 1" circle cut out of Crumb Cake card.  I've done the Faux Suede technique to that and kind of pleated it to give it some texture.  I then drew the actual stem onto some Crumb Cake Card, cut it out and did the Faux Suede technique to that too and then wrapped some linen thread around it.  Not sure why I did that but it looks cool! lol  The leaves were also drawn free hand!
