Petals

Today's cards were inspired by an idea I saw while browsing Pinterest this morning. Someone had taken a large canvas, painted it a solid color, then cut out oval shapes from scraps of fabric and glued them to the canvas. I immediately thought of the Blossoms Builder Punch and that the petal shape would be perfect for this. I also decided to use some more of the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment paper from the Sale-A-Bration mini because it has kind of a fabric quilt look to it so I thought it would be a neat effect.

My first card is the one laying down. I spread the petals out more to give it a more free-flowing effect like the original I saw. I'm not sure how much I like the end result though, so on my second one, I arranged the petals a lot tighter around the center and I think I like the overall look much better. I'm debating whether or not to add a sentiment to it, but that's definitely something that could be added later when I go to use the card. It would only take a minute or two to add a Happy Birthday or a Thank You.
