Make It Monday # 143 ~ Modern Whimsy Style


Danielle Flanders showed some tips and guidelines in creating a modern whimsy style kind of card.
You can go HERE  to watch the video.
This is definitely NOT my style..but I gave it a go.
I thought perhaps the Lovely Layers would look a bit like a poinsettia so I embossed some of the layers and used vellum and sweet blush and some zing powder.
 
We might get some snow!!  It is in the low 20's and there are flurries just north of us!
 
Heart Hugs,
Colleen

Colleen, these colors and die shapes together work magic! Not your style? This is gorgeous! And I think the Lovely Layers look like poinsettia too!

Stunning card - I definitely see this as a poinsettia & you have inspired me to pull out my Lovely Layers!

I think you did master the style. Love the vellum on this card with the other pinks and greens. The sentiment is so true. People are so nice and sweet to each other. Wish the spirit of Christmas was all year long in the hearts of everyone.

Whether or not this is your style, you certainly know how to work it! The card is a joy to behold. And the addition of colored embossing powder is wonderful. I need to remember to do this more often.
