Petals and Paper Class

I had a Petals and Paper class this past weekend, and had a BLAST! For those of you who don't know about this, I'm a floral designer and a Stampin Up Demonstrator. I take these 2 worlds of mine, and bring them together at my "Petals and Paper" class. Each participant makes a flower arrangement, a matching card and cardette (the little card that gets picked into the arrangement). The creations are tied together in a theme, a design element that they both share.
There's a new class every month, check out my calendar and join me for the next one!
This past week I focused on layering - an interpretation on the parallel design - in the analogous color scheme (ombre). Enjoy!






Keep learning, Keep growing, Keep sharing

Here is the PPA Challenge this week:
Pals Paper Arts PPA301


and here are those colors on my flowers:



This is what I submitted for the PPA301 challenge. I haven't used my little baby stamp set in a while, and thought this was the perfect opportunity. 
I can't just make one card, as soon as I cut the paper for my card, I just had to use the other half! So, I had 2 cards :)

I wanted to use some of the cardstock I had on hand and create a little birthday card for my mom. I wanted to get that springtime feel, so I choose a bird stamp. I stamped the image with Versamark, added some brown embossing powder and hit it with my heat tool. The powder turned more metallic brown, so I added the brads on the side to create unity. I tore the top and bottom edges and attached it to the other paper pieces with my snail adhesive. I used my flower punches to add a pop of color, and attached those with my dimensionals. Enjoy!
