Collage Thank You - The Friday Mashup 72

Yesterday I spent the day at the Stampin' Up Regional Convention in Hamilton, Ontario, and one of the popular techniques used there was the collage technique.  So I thought I would try it for this challenge with the Friday Mashup.

 So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

  1. Make a project with "the Sketch".
  2. Or Make a project w/ a "flower or multiple flowers".
  3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project w/ "the Sketch and a flower or multiple flowers".

 

Technique
Collage:
Using the colors Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit, and Calypso Coral and the stamp set Fruit and Flowers, the images were randomly stamped across a 3 by 3 5/8" panel of Whisper White.  The image panel was cut back to 2 by 3 5/8" and the 1" remaining panel was used to decorate the inside of the card.
Flower:
The Flower Blossom punch, and Summer Starfruit card stock, punch out 2 flowers. Make a small snip between each petal. Then score each petal in 2 places and  pinch  along score lines.
Attach the petals together using a dimensional- alternating petals.
For the center, the Boho blossom punch was used.  Punch out one each of the largest and medium flowers using Early Espresso card stock, snip between each petal and pinch up.  Adhere the 2 together.  Attach to the center of the Summer Starfruit flower.  Finish the flower by applying a cluster of pearls in the center.
Spritz with gold smooch.
