My heart has gone out to the town where The Greetery is located. All around that Iowa, SD area faced unrelenting rain storms a few weeks ago and its created significant flooding issues. And while I can’t fix a flood, I can create with some beautiful designs from The Greetery with my hopes and prayers for a full recovery.
This beautiful set of Botanicuts Hibiscus dies is gorgeous to layer up and feels like summer sun to me! After I had cut all the flower dies up I added some coloured pencil detailing to them. It happened that our daughter was over and she suggested a navy background - and wow was she ever right! I love the deep drama of the dark colour against the pops of the hibiscus blooms.
I chose to use a background die from Concord & 9th called Plaid Card Front Thick Die. This created some strong texture. I also embossed the whole plaid die cut with clear EP which not only deepened the colour, but added some shine too (but a doozy to photograph! :) )
The embossed sentiment uses The Greetery’s sentiment set called New Day. And that scripture passage is a beautiful encouragement.
Thanks for joining me today - I hope you are enjoying the sweetness of Summer!
