The summer holidays may be over, but there's always time for a summery floral number!
The flowers of choice this week are the BotaniCuts Geranium dies from The Greetery.
They're perfect for colouring with Distress Oxides using sponge daubers or blending brushes.
I used a mix of Saltwater Taffy and Abandoned Coral for the flowers and Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness for the leaves and stems.
For extra pop, I used coloured pencils to add details to the petals and shading to the leaves.
The BotaniCuts Geraniums look great on their own on the edge of a card, but also coordinate with the Pretty Pot die, which I blended with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides and spritzed with water.
Now I just needed to set the scene for these lovely bright flowers, and the Cottage Charm layering stencils from Concord & 9th were the perfect option.
There are four steps in this set, so I went with four shades of ink on pale pink cardstock.
I added a little woodgrain shelf at the bottom of the panel to anchor the pot of geraniums, and finally just needed a bold sentiment to complete the card.
My go-to bold set is always the Opposites Attract set plus the coordinating dies, including for the scripty elements.
And there we go, card complete!
Until next time, happy crafting!
