Birthday Flower of the Month - August - Gladiola

Hi, everyone!  It's time to reveal the August Birthday Flower of the Month from Divinity Designs LLC.....it's the Gladiola!  Check out the details and see more samples HERE!  Gladiolas come in a countless number of different colors, so have fun coloring them any way you like!!!  


Along with the Birthday Flower of the Month August set, my first sample also features the Mini Slimline Flourishy Frame Die, Mini Slimline Scalloped Rectangles Dies, Mini Slimline Card Base, Foam Mounting Tape, Blending Brushes, and an Adhesive Sheet (to easily adhere the Flourishy Frame without messy glue.)  To color the gladiola, I created a reverse mask with scratch paper in order to color the flowers with a blending brush.  The other portions were colored with markers.  A Bow Easy was used to tie the orchid ribbon and clear gems were added as embellishments.


My second sample is an A2 card on which I used the following items: Beautiful Blooms Slimline Paper Pad; Dies: Bitty Borders, Butterfly Layering Combo 3, Scalloped Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, along with Foam Mounting Tape and Blending Brushes.  The flower was colored in the same manner, with the reverse mask and highlighted with markers. Before blending the pink, the stamen were colored yellow and sealed with a clear glaze pen. Glitter gems were added as a finishing touch.


Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
