Friendship- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.

Time for another card for

The Flower Challenge.

We have a fun theme this month, choose to make a card from a previous challenge.

Looking back, I chose to use Challenge #12 Tic Tac Toe.  I used the middle line- gems/watercolour/CAS.

I began by placing a piece of watercolour paper into my Misti, inked up the flower from the Penny Black set called Radiant and stamped my first flower in the bottom corner.  I created a mask by stamping on a piece of scrap paper and used it to cover up my first stamped flower so I could stamp additional flowers that appear behind the first image.  Masking is such a great way to use the same image to stamp multiples that appear to be overlapping.

Next, I pulled out my Distress Oxide inks, rubbed them onto my non-stick craft mat and using a wet paintbrush, I picked up the colour and painted in my flowers.  I added a few green splatters over the flowers when dry and stamped the sentiment also from Penny Black and clear embossed it to help make it pop.

I cut away the bottom corner as I felt there was too much white space left there and so the green background paper would show through.  

Finally, I glued some black gems to the center of my flowers.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you get time to play along with us.
