We were challenged to create a card and project that was spring themed or pastel colored. This is very difficult for me as I don't really do pastel colors often but I had a terrific occasion to create for-- a surprise baby shower for our front desk graduate assistant!
So, I did some recon work and found out that she was inspired by this wallpaper from Anthropologie called Watercolor Flora! It's very expensive but I thought those flowers look similar to some of the DSP we have... She also wanted touches of gold, pink, and teal.

So I started with this card that used many elements from our February Paper Pumpkin kit "Hello Sunshine" and the Botanical Blooms framelit set! You can get a refill of that kit for only $8 if you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and trust me-- it's a great deal! The nine card bases are gorgeous and all the stickers and sequins really make it worth it!
Below is the sweet wall decor item that I worked on for Baby Zora for several weeks! I love our Birthday Bouquet DSP and thought it made the perfect background for this frame. I painted the frame teal and the dry brushed on some gold-- okay-- lots of gold!
This emboss resist watercolors flower looks gorgeous-- right??? I love the way that Watermelon Wonder and Melon Mambo washed together so well! And I used a layer of gold vellum foil to soften this section...
