Anything Goes- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning and Welcome.

A new month means a new theme at 

The Flower Challenge

Great theme.  Please check out what our talented team has created and come play along.

So onto my card.

I am longing for Spring's arrival so I wanted to use colours that would reflect a sunny, warmer feel.

I placed my white cardstock into my Misti, then positioned a mask from A Colorful Life Designs over my paper as I wanted to be left with a nice crisp, white border.  I love using these simple masks on my cards.  Next, I took this great flower stamp from PB called Together and placed it inside my Misti.  Using my Tombow markers, I coloured the flower heads first, sprayed with water and pressed onto my paper.  I repeated that same process for the leaves then let it dry.

By colouring directly onto your stamps with markers, it lets you apply a variety of different colours without them getting all muddy.

When dry, I stamped this fun PB sentiment from the Good Wishes set using some Memento black ink.  Leaving the mask in place, I rubbed some Squeezed Lemonade along the edges to define the stamped area.

I removed the mask and then scored a border along the sponged edge.  I like the way it frames up the stamped area.

I mounted it over a piece of sunny yellow cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
