Blue Skies- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.

Time for a new theme at 

The Flower Challenge.

Add acetate or vellum to your flower card.

I began creating my card by die cutting the Delphinium Circle onto my heavy white cardstock and stamped on my sentiment.

Next, I got out a piece of acetate and cut it to size to fit behind my flower circular window.  I applied alcohol inks and blended them using Ranger's Blending Solution.  It left me with a rich, blue background for my flowers.

Since I am using this as a sympathy card, I wanted to keep it very simple so glued the finished piece onto white cardstock.

I hope you will come and play along with us.

Thanks for the visit.

Moment

Good Morning.

Today, a simple card with a simple message.

I have been so busy lately that I needed to take some time, a moment to pause and create.

I just picked up this great die from Memory Box and thought I would add it to a leftover inky background.

The background was done using Distress Oxides and the Splash Watercolour technique.

Love these colour blends and the DOX's are so easy to use to achieve this look.

I die cut the opening, glued the inked piece behind after stamping the word 'Moment' and then to add additional interest to the die cut, I pierced around the circle.  

The whole piece was pop dotted over a pale shade of blue cardstock.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
