Bloomin' Maevelous

So I just had to use Bloom Mae (the ‘after’ one naturally) in a project and here she is.

I never played with shrink film as a kid but I'm making up for it now.  I printed off my coloured image on a bit of shrink film and then used a Nestability to fame her.  They had a great tut over at the SOG blog for backgrounds to stamps by Anna Maria of the DT.  You keep the Nesty in place and add some colour with a sponge and then stamp around the edges.  I used the flowers from the Nouveau Girls Renew set in copper, platinum and coral Brilliance inks and the blue edge was Smooch Pool.  I love the way my little homemade charm turned out.

For the card itself I used two different Core’dinations cardstocks and some My Mind’s Eye patterned paper.  A bit of tulle from Webster’s Pages and ribbon from Jillibean helped finish my background.  I used a Shapeability for the banner, which I stamped with one of the sentiments from the Romantic Gwen set.  To tie in with bloom of Bloom Mae I added some resin flowers from my stash.  The stick pins are ones I made for the card with some glass pearls and metal flowers.

I’m really happy with how this card came out and I’m going to enter this over at the SOG October challenge sketch.
