Every few months I offer a 'Mystery Card' challenge to my Flowerbug's Team. They can opt in to receive a packet from me and I ask that they use some of the pieces in the packet to create a project and share it on our Team page. They can add anything to the card that they want to.
I shared these ideas in the video I made on my weekly FB Live. Click here to watch it.
This time I focused on Brights DSP, vellum doilies, a Label Me Lovely punched piece and our Rainbow Glimmer paper in the annual catalog.
I pulled out the Sentimental Swirls stamp set seen here for my cards and added Black accents and a strip of Melon Mambo.
I've always loved swirl images so this set was an easy choice. Then add in the cute greetings (most are my 'go to' favorites) and 2-step stamp images and it's a hit!
The card base is white, the DSP was Mango Melody and the Rainbow Glimmer paper had pinks & orange tones. I used the Ladybug Builder punch for Black bodies & glimmer wings. I cut the vellum doily in half on the diagonal to add it on the upper and lower part of the card. A few Artistry adhesive-backed sequins finish it off!
I made a few more with other 'mystery card' packets. This one had Bermuda Bay DSP in it and similar colors of Rainbow Glimmer paper. I think the bright colors are perfect together! The orange & pink really pop on the Bermuda Bay!
The flowers are from the Flowers & Leaves punch and the flower centers are die-cuts from the Pierced Blooms dies. Here I cut the doily in half again and added both pieces at the bottom, under the greeting.
The Rainbow Glimmer paper is in the Annual Catalog and will likely retire next week. Get it here while you still can. You can see it in the photos above & below.
You might wonder where I got that greeting shape. It's actually the Label Me Lovely punch. But I altered the size by punching it twice; removing some of it so it was much smaller.
To do this easily, I stamp on a scrap of White and punch it out as usual. Then I adhere a strip of card stock (black in the photo above) to the edge of the punched piece and insert it back into the punch. The strip of card stock allows me to 'reach' and adjust the punch easily.
