Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am delighted to be taking part in the Ink and Inspiration blog hop for May. The theme this month is Sweet Suite and I have chosen to feature the Pansy Petal Suite from the new Annual Catalogue.
This suite jumped out of the catalogue at me! For as long as I can remember, I have loved pansies and violas. In pots, hanging baskets or in the ground there is something quite appealing about these flowers - they have such character. I find the darkest purple ones the most appealing and I'm always drawn to those ones first when I see them in the garden centre!
The suite offers plenty of possibilities to make stunning pansy projects from gorgeous images on the Designer Series Paper to distinktive stamping to die cutting. For today's card I have used the dies and coloured card for a paper pieced pansy arrangement. I can't wait to try the stamps too.
The flowers are made with three shades of purple; Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss. The centre is Daffodil Delight which gives the distinctive, bright pop of colour. The flowers are arranged on a layer of the Evening Evergreen InColor Shimmer Vellum embossed with new Checks folder - the embossing folder teams up so well with the check pattern on the DSP! To finish off the card I wrapped a length of Evening Evergreen ribbon under the sentiment and added a few of the InColor jewels for a bit of sparkle.
I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too - click on the names below to enjoy their projects. We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.
