Exotic Blooms...


Happy Thursday,

A different use of the Poinsettia die today with these yellow/ orange flowers which hopefully look more like exotic flowers rather than the traditional poinsettia!  The mix of the orange and the green foliage really works for me.












I mixed the flowers with my Bee Balm Collection with shades of white, yellow, green and white vellum to give a pretty but understated card to carry the large flower spray.





















The sentiment is made using the die and circles form my Gerbera daisy wreath die set which hopefully just sets off the whole effect.



Enjoy...

    Morning John, stunning sample this morning, the flowers are amazing and reminds me of the corsage that women used to wear years ago, really beautiful.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Hello,

    Your cards are works of art. Would love to see a video of you putting these flowers together. Or a picture of all the parts ready to go before you start gluing, then a few in between. Do you give these "cards" away? Do you make a box for them? Keep inspiring us. Love everything. Cheers.

    Oh John this is another stunning card. Those flowers are gorgeous and what a great way to use the poinsettia die. I still must order some foam I am sure it is in short supply. Enjoy the rest of the day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
