Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 14: add some flowers


This is my design cad for Suzy Bee's Blooming' challenge 14: add some flowers. This is being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps who kindly supplied the 'live laugh love rose block' that I've used, colouring promarkers and flexmarkers.

I used a mix of papers and Hunkydory card pieces from my scraps boxes, die cutting the image and surrounding papers using Spellbinders marvellous squares.

I was all set to add some shop-bought flowers, when I thought I'd had an inky play and make my own. I found some pink paper that had some light script on it which was perfect for using some of my favourite Hero Arts stamps, inking them with memento tuxedo black and then using promarkers/flexmarkers to decorate, curling the edges and mounting the inner flowers with silicone to stand out a big. Finally I added some gem flowers.The card blank that I've used is a bit of cheat (but I don't like to waste anything) as it was originally a gatefold card, but the edges of one side got dog-eared, so I cut it off to make a different kind of card.


I used two pieces of Hunkydory offcuts inside linking with a piece of sticky stitched ribbon from Hobbycraft.

  1. Hi Hazel you have made a beautiful card.
    but you have not used a decoupage and that must be also.
    But thank you for entering Nadia's challenge.
