I’m sharing a
card commissioned by a colleague for her niece’s confirmation, featuring the
lovely Delicate Wings die from Sizzix.
Over at Fussy and Fancy they are looking for fancy fold cards so I decided to make a twisted
easel card. I wanted some way to make
the dove die cut look like it was flying and the twisted easel provided the
perfect base.
The symbol for a
confirmation is a dove coming out of flames.
Rather than doing a flat image for the flames I made them out
of flowers. I took a gazillion I Am Roses roses and rose buds and a few cherry blossoms and coloured them with my
Copics in shades of red, pink, orange and yellow. I added in some dark red rose hips and twigs
to give some extra shape. With all of
the I Am Roses flowers I am entering my card in their current challenge.
At Open Minded Crafting their current theme is Angels in April. My card doesn’t feature any angels but it
does meet the faith based option, steeped as it is in Catholic symbolism and
featuring a sentiment appropriate for the rite of confirmation.
I haven’t done a
fully loaded fussy and fancy card in a long time and haven’t had my flower box
open for so long the poor things were nearly needing a good dusting! And while I am still loving my CAS cards it
was a lot of fun doing up this one and I am very pleased with how it turned
out.
