Hello friends!
I had such fun working with the July digital kit from Hero Arts called "Real Flowers." They are really gorgeous and ready for arranging. Using (as ever) free software from Google, I made a set of 4 different cards, and added a surprise inside each one.
There are 16 (yes, 16!) different flowers in the digital kit. Each is presented in a bright color and also in black.
For each card, I simply arranged flowers into a small bouquet--3 different flowers, sending the taller ones to the back of the arrangement, the smaller ones in the front, and tilting the flowers so that the stems overlap near the bottom. I turned each arrangement into a grouping and added a green drop shadow to the arrangement --the shadow adds so much dimension. I placed this image into the left lower corner of the page.
Using sentiments from the new Park Scene Printable, I added a sentiment to the bottom right of each bouquet.
I used Hero Arts peony card stock for card bases and, to create sparkle and a little something extra, I blended a piece of Hero Arts silver glitter card stock with pinks on the top and dark green on the bottom, creating a sort of ombre using Hero's inks in pine, azalea, cotton candy, and peony. I cut this glitzy ombre paper into 1/4 inch strips and placed a strip on the left side of each card--again weighting the design to the left.
