I had been working on this card yesterday and I felt a real drive suddenly to finish it - I guess it was a source of comfort and normalcy. I made it for the Caardvarks 1-2-3 challenge to use one embellishment, two patterned papers, and three flowers. It seemed like a great time to break out my new Lilykate Basic Grey papers.
First I cut a 5.5" square white card, then the yellow panel and a 4.5" square of the floral, which I cut into 1.5" squares for the mosaic. This is a technique I've been wanting to try. I took white organdy ribbon and made a couple knots, then placed it under the top middle square and over the other two top squares, then fastened in the back. Next I added the primas with crystal brads in the center. Then I stamped the tag (from Stampin' Up's Too Terrific Tags) in Color Box french blue over a white scrap sponged with Color Box daffodil direct to paper. I colored in the flowers and leaves with pink and yellow colored pencils. I knotted the tag onto a shorter length of ribbon and affixed onto the back, then secured in the front once the rest of the mosaic squares were mounted.
