Double Trouble #150 - The Crafter's Cafe "Flowers"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #150 "Fancy Florals" and asking you to leave those patterned papers in their comfy little storage... skip  the patterned papers altogether, create a card using florals and share with our challenge partner at The Crafter's Cafe "Flowers".  Twisted Sister wanted us to include an insect to earn an additional chance in DTC's random draw.  

Thus went to my stash of unfinished Copic Class Images which we attended quite frequently at a local scrapbook store with Instructor Jennifer Dove.  Remembered an image of a bee sitting among flowers which fit so well with this challenge... plus the colors were perfect for the ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #569 "Shades of Red, Orange and Yellow) using all three colors.   

 

My Bee coloring had been completed but only one of the flowers and one of the leaves were inked with colors not included in board; so applied the handy blender to remove as much of the color as possible and re-colored with acceptable colors in the Color Dare Board.  

Since patterned papers were not allowed decided on a border of yellow cardstock and cut a die with stitched sun rays and then adhered to the card base. The shadowing around the image was Copic brush streaks using sparingly a good match of the yellow border.  

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble and our partner for this challenge The Crafter's Cafe to check out the Design Teams inspiration.  We are looking forward to seeing the creative ways you make your floral(s) stand out without using patterned papers... hope to see you there.

Color Dare's Color Board #569 may be your desired colors too... check out their Design Team projects for inspiration also.
