moxie fab tuesday trigger sweet on spring

I am so glad that I had the chance to play this week in the moxie fab tuesday trigger. I have been sooo busy the last couple of weeks that I didn't get the chance to play at the last two triggers :( But when I saw the picture for this weeks trigger I said oo la la this one is for me:)

Here is the trigger...........

 

Can you say HAPPY!! I love this picture and the colors just scream at me because they are my favorites ..... aqua mist, sweet blush, berry sorbet, summer sunrise a bit of hibiscus, a tad bit of orange zest and let's not forget a wee bit of spring moss. Total Moxie fab!!!!

So when I saw this picture I KNEW I had to make these crepe paper flowers that have been on my to do list. 
Problem - I live in the sticks and the only crepe paper I can find is white and a few primary pastels that were not matching what I wanted. 
So what does this girl do to fix the problem??? I dyed the white with the ink colors I wanted:) It takes a bit of time but I got the exact colors I was looking for. 
So here is what I came up with............




This card totally makes me happy. I love how these flowers turned out. I just ran about 15 to 20 layers of crepe paper through my cuttle bug with this flower die and viola!! flowers in different sizes.  The two smaller flowers are from k&company that I have had for about a year and decided to use up. The chipboard "HI" are heidi swapp letters from my stash.

Enjoy your day and thanks for looking!!

  14. The flowers are just gorgeous! You're making me want a machine -- I made a similar flower with tissue paper on my Tuesday Trigger card and punched the scalloped circled by hand. ;-)
