Henriëtte van Mierlo: mint

Mint is one of my favorite colors. One of my walls in my craft room is mint (and perfect for photo backgrounds). I've made a wedding card in mint, pink and gold, a perfect combination of colors.

All the flowers you see on this card are handmade using foamiran and stamens from 14 craft bar. The heartshaped chipboard is also from 14 craft bar shop.
For the pink flower I used organza foam and colored it with oil pastels.
The gold flowers are made with white 0.8 foamiran and painted with gold paint.
I used different flowers dies I have in my stash.

The paper I used is from Mintay papers called Birdsong. It has mint, pink and gold in it.

There are also applique elements on this card, which are from the lovely shop of Allmacraft, one of my favorite webshops.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Later on I decided to add gold splatters to the card. Here is a link to a you tube video where you can see a very short impression.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice day.

Hugs, Henriette.

Hi, today I'm sharing this gift box with foamiran flowers.

Before I start a project I often look on Google or Pinterest for a nice colorscheme and for this project I used this beautiful mint and peach color scheme.

I started by folding the gift box. It's a box with window from 14 craft bar and perfect for sending your big foamiran cards, but can also be decorated.
Then I covered the lit with gesso and applied crumpled mint tissue paper on it with another layer of gesso (I taped off the window).
After the gesso dried I glued on the foamiran flowers and paper leaves with my hot glue gun.
