CD 657 - Your Smile Shaped Card

 Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 657!

The graphic is below - be sure to add ONE colour to the two that are shown. 

I chose to add purple. 

I die cut a shaped card using an angled leaf die. I also cut two extra pieces - one for the inside to allow a place to write a message on the green piece and another to put on the reverse of the front section. The latter was done for two reasons - to add strength and to hide the ribbon backs. 

I have to think ahead when I am making my cards... I decided to splatter the front with gold paint AFTER I had added the ribbon. I didn't want the back of the card nor the leaves to be splattered so I had to mask those. This isn't the first time I have done this! The flowers and leaves were die cut, as was the sentiment and everything was arranged on the front of the card. I added some of the images in the bottom corner as well. Gold Stickles were used to add some interest to the purple flowers and I used fine tip markers to draw details on the pink flowers and all the leaves.
