Good Morning!
I hope you are all well and are finding things to keep busy with during these times of isolation.
Yesterday, I played along with a fun challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers called No Stamping.
Time to think outside of the box as I love to stamp!
So here's what I did to create my card.
I began by making the background piece. I found a piece of white tissue paper in my stash, wrinkled it all up to create creases and then flattened it back out with my hands.
I rubbed some Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon and some Peacock Feathers Distress inks onto a piece of acetate, sprayed with water and then pressed that onto the tissue paper. The tissue paper will soak in all the ink quickly so try not to make it too wet. I set it aside to dry on a flat surface.
As it dried, I die cut a window from my white cardstock and then went on to die-cutting the flowers.
When the tissue was dry, I glued it behind the cut out window and then added the flowers, arranging them in a random fashion.
I love the way the white flowers look against that colourful bkg.
I glued it onto a piece of matching blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

All so colourful and the white die cut flowers look so pretty against the wonderful and creative background Karen x.......And no stamping x.
Really lovely blend of colours in the background. Great job using tissue paper (I often get it too wet and it falls apart). Love that flower die - might have to go off and look for it!
lovely card!
This is gorgeous Karen, I love the background and such fab colours, and the diecut flowers are brilliant and stand out so well with the coloured background. Have a good weekend and stay safe, Kate x
OMG..Karen, your smooshed tissue paper using your acetate sheet covered with inks turned out beautifully. The perfect background for your pretty die cut flowers. Loved your framing too. TFS and inspiring me as always:-) Wishing you a beautiful day staying safe and creative. Love and Hugs..Nancy
No stamping required as this wonderful card sends a lot of cheer with just the dies and colorful background. Take care and stay well.
What a fantastic tissue paper background Karen and the colours are gorgeous and the white die cut flowers really pop against it. x

LOVE your tissue paper background Karen. The colours are gorgeous and so perfect with the white wild flowers. xx
Those daisies are wonderful. I really like them and your arrangement of them. Wonderful. I'm hoping to get more time to just play now I've left the DT I was on... haven't used tissue paper for years and years and years!
