I did make a mistake though by having the blooms go two different directions. I think if I had them going the same way it would have looked better. I used the flower from the Gina K. Designs Through Thick & Thin set and the sentiment was from the Gina K. Designs Dogwood and Butterfly set.
Once I had my design colored I then cut it out with a Unbranded Scalloped Stitch Rectangle Die from Cheapo Dies. I also used dies from the same set to make a frame by placing two of the dies together and then cutting them out from the Cranberry Tart card stock. Everything was then added to a white card base and the last thing added was three clear rhinestone gems. Oh, I also used a bit of white paint pen to add more dimension to the center of the flowers and also a darker green pen to add more of the highlights to the leaves too. The flowers I pretty much left as they were.
I am entering this card into the Dies R Us Challenge #93-Frame It.
I tell you this is really fun to do and since my eyesight is not as good as it used to be I find this a much easier way to do a no line look on images. I hope more of you will try it as well. Thanks to Melanie Muenchinger for coming up with this idea. I posted her video on the previous blog post so if you want you can go there and check it out.
Thanks for the visit and have a great evening. I love to read your comments too.
God bless,
Verna

This is very pretty! Your dies don’t look cheap o at all! The flowers really make a statement!
Your life-like flowers are gorgeous and beautifully framed, Verna. I like the no-line look. Love the bright colors and the way you colored the centers by adding the white dots. :)

Gorgeous,Verna. I love the colors. You are always trying new things.
Lovely, my dear! You NAILED it, no small feat. I find no-line coloring very challenging. This is just beautiful!!!
Oh, wow! Okay, that is an awesome technique and I'm so going to try it. I watched the video and bookmarked it. Don't know if I can make it turn out, but it will be fun to try. Your card is beautiful, Verna!
This one turned out even better than your blue one! I think the flowers look fine just as you've placed them. I think you did a splendid job with this one, which I like very much. (maybe it's the red?!) You've presented it beautifully with the scallop stitch dies, and well done! I must try this. TFS & Hugs
Beautiful! I like the flowers going in opposite directions... and love the colors. I'm going to have to give this a try!
Beautiful creation....Thank you for playing along with us in the DIES R US challenge!
