Flower Cones from Little Blue Button & Penny's

It's time for a new challenge with us on the
As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsors for this challenge are:

Little Blue Button Stamps


~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Flower Cone digital stamp from Little Blue Button Stamps, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a pair of birthday cards.



I used a sketch for the design (details linked below), along with lots of markers, dies and pretty papers to make these 6 1/8" square cards.  I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, die cut then coloured with Copic markers.  The different marker blends are listed below, along with the patterned papers and dies.  I matted the image panels with an oval die cut from contrasting cardstock.  I trimmed the background papers to 6" square and matted it with contrasting cardstock, trimming to 1/16" border using a Perfect Layers Ruler.  I took a coordinating panel of patterned paper from each pad, trimmed to 1 3/4" x 6", matting on cardstock and trimming the sides to give a 1/16" border, keeping the top and bottom flush, to match the background panel.  I die cut the "twine" and bows from textured cardstock.  For the "magenta, B&W floral card", I used the RV66 Copic marker to colour a white twine and bow die cut, I layered it over a black die cut for extra dimension and contrast against the patterned paper.  I used liquid adhesive to adhere all the layers in place, adding some thin foam squares under the right-hand-side of the image panel to keep it flat against the base of the card and contrasting strip.  I adhered the card fronts to heavy 6" square card bases.

here is what I call my "magenta, B&W floral card"



   

and here is my "green floral card"
I coloured the background of the image panel because the white didn't look "right"
