Large all occasion cards featuring flowers (digital), lace and fiber

A few more cards for my sister.  I saw her last week and she requested cards appropriate for her daycare so I found some fun images at Melonheadz that would work.  I sized them in CorelDraw and laser printed them before trimming them to size.  

For my first card I created my card base with heavy weight paper in an orange plaid pattern.  I added the green embossed vellum.  It is a nice effect that the flowers are highlighted by the lighter colour behind.  I watercoloured my image - a pail full of flowers, layered it with orange cardstock and then added a layer of green textured paper leaving it long on the bottom.  I trimmed it with a small scallop border punch and then added a length of white lace ribbon before adhering it to my card front.  

For my next card I chose a tulip image (Melonheadz) to watercolour and then layered it with brown cardstock again leaving extra at the bottom where I tied a length of blue fiber.  I created a brown card and added a red background.  To echo the blue in the vase I created a layered cardstock accent which I embossed with large dots (SU) before adhering it to my card.  I added my focal element to my card using 3D foam tape.  
I love the Melonheadz images and have used many of them quite often in my card making over the years.
