Welcome
A new month means a new theme at
The Flower Challenge
This month our theme is:
Our Guest Designer this month is Mac Mable from thesweetestofpeas. Do check out her blog if you have a minute as she makes such fabulous cards.
I chose Summer for the theme of my card so here is what I did to create my card.
I began by making the background using my Gel Plate. I wanted a white border on my card so I positioned my Rectangle Acrylic Mask onto my heavy white cardstock first, then I brayered some Salty Ocean DOX ink onto the plate, splattered with some diluted Blueprint Sketch DOX ink and pulled my print.
Leaving the mask in place, I stamped the roses along the top then coloured them using my Zig Waterbrush markers. I dried that and then stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed it.
I mounted the panel onto a pale mauve piece of cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
I hope you will come and play along with us.

A great idea to use the rectangle acrylic mat as a border and the gel plate background looks fabulous. I like the contemporary looking flowers and a really beautiful Summery card Karen x.
Thank you so much for the shout out x
I'd buy a dozen of these gorgeous purple roses, Karen! I haven't a clue about gel plates, but you sure know what you're doing - and you do it beautifully every time!

Wow! This is so gorgeous with those purple roses.
I love the purple and blue combination, Karen! Great sentiment and pretty flowers!
Such pretty and stylish purple flowers Karen and love the two blue inks on the gelli plate background and the lilac mat echoing the beautiful flowers goes perfectly. A brilliant card. x
Beautiful colours and card.xx
Great gelli plate background and wonderful roses in those mauve and purple colours! Love the way you masked off the rectangle and used a narrow mauve border.
Just wow, it looks amazing I adore the colours
