A Friend, Floral Mash-Up

Here is my second try at this week's challenge for Friday's Mash-Up. I think I am happier with this one. Again, I started with a base of Very Vanilla. I have a layer of More Mustard that is embossed using a textured plate with daisies. Along the bottom there is a strip of Cherry Cobbler, cut out using a non-SU sizzix thing-y. I used this floral stamp from A Slice of Life set. I cheated a little bit because I stamped it on watercolor paper and then (duh) I water colored on it! I used my aqua painter and mustard and cherry ink. I put that on a layer of cherry.

I added the sentiment (from Teeny Tiny Wishes) on vanilla in cherry. I punched it out with the word window. I put that on a mustard modern label punch.

Then I tried to make a little embellishment. I am not 100% happy with it, but it is what it is so there you have it. I punched out 2 mustard 5 petal flowers, and I used my corner rounder to clip off the tips of the flowers. I sandwiched those together with a glue stick. I punched those little slots in the flower so that I could tread some ribbon through the flower (cherry seam binding ribbon to be exact). I tied a pretty little bow.

The flower does blend it a little too much with the card. I should have sponged the edges of the flower in cherry, but I didn't. And there you have it.

Thanks for looking...
