Kylie's International Project Highlights for July 2022

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is my card to entry to Kylie Bertucci's International Project Highlights for July 2022 - the theme is Thank you.

I picked the Season of Chic bundle to work with today, but I wanted to use a different colour palette to the one featured in the suite. I went for pink hues for the flowers; Merry Merlot, Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride complemented with foliage in Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz. The two largest frames from the Scalloped Contour Dies nest wonderfully creating a lovely backdrop to show off the flowers.

The neutral Sahara Sand layer sits within the stitched border on the Merry Merlot layer and has very pale tone on tone splotches stamped on it. One of the Chic dies cuts an irregular shape with a cross hatch pattern in it; it creates an amazing accent. I cut a whole piece and a part piece from the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and attached it to extend over all of the Sahara Sand layer. For a change, I left some of the waste pieces in it, adding another dimension to the background.

On top of these background elements I added the flowers and leaves. Some of them are stamped and die cut, others are simply die cut elements. The flowers are topped with Rustic Metallic dots - they make great centres and complement the Distressed Gold paper and heat embossing too.

The thanks from the stamp set is exactly the right width for the scalloped frame! So, after gold heat embossing thanks on a strip of Merry Merlot, I die cut the strip using the Scalloped Contours die to create scalloped edges. Then, I could match the strip up with the outside of the frame.
