On Saturday, I watched a great session from the Card Makers Success Summit by Tiffany Solorio - Tiffany uses Distress Sprays in all sorts colourful sprays and layers. I only have two Distress Sprays in Brushed Pewter and Tarnished Brass. I tried my Lindy's Gang Mica sprays but they are all very muted colours. I added a splotch of Adirondack Color Wash in Purple Twilight. But my panel of mixed media paper was very pale and blah looking with a few blob of purple. So what to do?
Die cut with Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms!
Here's the card I made with all the bits I die cut and glued together
I used some of the dark purple blobs to cut the bigger flowers and the other more softer colours for the leaves and buds. I used some pinky lilac card from Scrapbook.com Purple card pack for my background panel. I die cut it with one of the Altenew Mix and Match Frames and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder. I slightly sanded it for an even more textured look. I then added my bouquet down one side, and added a circle die and layer die cut from Gina K Master Layout #3 and used a Gina K sentiment. So a success from a failure!

Hurrah for getting a beautiful card from the sheet you weren't keen on!
Hi Dawn, there's always something beautiful waiting to happen! A super result with lots of lovely flowers, a trellis for them, and a beautiful card. CarolG
