PTI March 2013 Blog Hop: Sequins

This month's Papertrey blog hop challenge is to use sequins.  This challenge gave me a good reason to go shopping as I didn't own any sequins.   And we've got lots of April birthdays in our family, so I used this challenge to start on my birthday card.

For my first card, I was inspired by a color combo from the graphics on a commercial for Oprah's Super Soul Sunday show.  The colors made me think of Funky Florals, so here's the result:



In my second card, I tried to use a color scheme to go with the iridescent sequins.  I'm not in love with the final result.



Thanks for stopping by!

    Wonderful compositions! I like both cards equally well. I love the way you overlapped and scattered your funky flowers, and stamped the sentiment in black on top. (Isn't it amazing where we get our color pallet ideas. I took a picture the other day of my pills which were waiting their time to be swallowed. I guess there are some benefits to getting older?!) You should really be proud of both cards. They are stunning. Thanks for taking the time to play along.
