Papertrey February 2017 Blog Hop Challenge...

I can't believe it's time for the monthly Blog Hop - February flew by!! For this month's challenge, Nichole posted an inspiration photo that I really couldn't get much inspiration from. It has a lot of dark colors and not a lot of ideas popped into my head. I focused on the dark background, pink color and the diamonds in the photo - giving me the idea to use a diamond shape for my background.

I used Smokey Shadow cardstock for the card base and added the hexagons die-cut in Raspberry Fizz cardstock. The flower wrap is die-cut in Kraft paper and stamped with Raspberry Fizz ink and the flower portion die-cut in white cardstock and stamped with Spring Moss and Raspberry Fizz inks. I added black centers with a marker and white, coarse glitter on them.

The banner is die-cut in white cardstock and stamped with Smokey Shadow ink. I placed the flowers and the banner on foam tape for dimension. To finish things, I tied crochet thread around the spine and added a few sequins.

Not one of my favorite cards but this is what you get when inspiration doesn't coming knocking at your door. 😒
