CI#165 Country Flowers posy

 Welcome back to Colour INKspriation round#165.

This week we have some beautiful new colours in our challenge. Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie are new, and team beautifully with Petal Pink.

I am using the Country Flowers set quite a lot at the moment preparing samples for class coming soon. I saw a card like this on Pinterest and thought it was so fun I had to try it.

I have done a double front card quite often in the past but this version is a top fold rather than a regular book fold. I have developed the measurements for the metric market and will post them after the class. Here is my card, I am quite happy with how it turned out.

The colours work really well together - although I will say I thought the green stool was a bit bright so I actually added a layer of Peach using the Alcohol blends for this card- it did tone it down a little.

When you open the card front there is another pretty layer to catch your attention. The pot plant is a little simpler than the posy, but there is plenty of visual interest with the glimmer, the embossed panel and the additional flowers.

And then this opens up to reveal the final message.  The stitched label die with the sentiment hangs off the page to add a little more interest from the front.

There is not a lot of space for a message here, but sometimes that is all you need.
