Anything Goes- The Flower Challenge

Hello and Welcome

A new month means a new theme over at 

The Flower Challenge.

An easy one this month and there is a prize offered.

ANYTHING GOES

We are very happy to announce that we are being sponsored by one of our own Design Team members this month. The amazing Rachel Vass is now designing beautiful floral digital images. Do check out her Etsy shop at Rachel Vass Designs as she has  wonderful designs there.

Rachel has kindly agreed to give our lucky winner two digital images of their choice

We are using her wonderful designs on our cards this month too!

Our Guest Designer this month is Joe S. He doesn't have a blog but do check him out on Instagram at vjsjoey if you have a minute as he makes such fabulous cards.

So onto my card details.

I began by printing off this gorgeous digital image by Rachel called Trio of Roses onto some heavy white cardstock.  Next, using my Zig Waterbrush markers, I watercoloured in the flowers. 

After I was happy with the inking, I splattered it with some diluted ink to add interest. 

I really wanted the roses to pop so I fussy cut them out at the top and mounted them onto a piece of black cardstock.  I love the contrast it gave.

The bottom looked a bit stark, so I used some drywall tape to add a bit of stencilling.

I mounted it onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a pink card base to help bring out the colour of the roses.  I left it without a sentiment so I could add one later for any occasion.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
