Enjoy the Little Things- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning

A new month means it's time for a new theme at 

The Flower Challenge

This month we are so happy to have a special sponsor and a great prize to be won.

Thanks to Altenew for offering a great stamp set to one lucky winner.

So onto my card details.

I began with a plain piece of heavy white cardstock and placed my rectangle mask from A Colorful Life Designs over that.  I rubbed on some Cracked Pistachio DOX ink at the bottom and some Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac at the top, blending the colours together.  When I was happy with the blending, I placed the Crossword stencil over the inky background and rubbed on some more Wilted Violet DOX ink.  I splattered it with some water to lift some of the ink and give more interest to the background.  

While that dried, I stamped these flowers from the Charmed Altenew set with Versamark ink onto a piece of Yupo that had been previously inked up with Ranger Alcohol inks, then sprinkled on some Ranger Black Embossing powder and heat set.  I just got this black eb powder and I am really liking it.  It gives a good solid emboss to projects.

I took the embossed flowers and fussy cut them out.

Before pop dotting my flowers to my card front, I placed the inked piece inside my Misti, stamped the sentiment from the same Altenew set with Versamark and heat embossed it with some white embossing powder.

I doodled a border around the inking to pull it all together and then simple mounted it onto a white card base.

I hope you get a chance to come and play along with us this month and have a chance to win the stamp set from Altenew.
