Pretty Pastels- The Flower Challenge

Good morning.

Time for another card for 

The Flower Challenge

This month, we are also happy to be giving away a lovely stamp set from Uniko.

We are also welcoming our Guest Designer Michelle Lupton.

We are playing with pretty pastels this month which has been a lot of fun.

I started to create my card by rubbing some DOX ink (colours listed below) onto a piece of plastic wrap, sprayed with water and pressed my heavy white cardstock into the wet ink.  The wrinkled nature of the plastic wrap leaves such wonderful textures and designs to a card base and it super easy to do too!

Next, I placed the dry piece into my Misti and stamped the flower with black Memento ink.  I stamped the flower head again onto a piece of white cardstock as well and fussy cut it out.

Using the same colours of DOX inks I used in the background inking, I watercoloured in the flower and then splattered with some white acrylic paint to add interest.

I stamped some extra interest on the bkg using a variety of stamps (listed below), then stamped this great sentiment from Penny Black.  I pop dotted the flower head over the one stamped onto the card front and then mounted the piece onto some soft pink then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you will come and play along with us.

Pretty Pastel Sunset- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning

A new month means a new fun theme at 

The Flower Challenge

This month, we are also happy to be giving away a lovely stamp set from Uniko.

We are also welcoming our Guest Designer Michelle Lupton.

So onto my card details.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and my Distress Oxide inks.  I sponged on some Cracked Pistachio along the bottom edge using a blender brush. Next, I sponged on some Spun Sugar with a hint of Picked Raspberry, then Tumbled Glass and finally some Shaded Lilac.  When the inks were all dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the flowers along the bottom edge and heat embossed with some clear powder.  I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black the same way.

I splattered the background with water to remove some of the ink then added some splatters with black acrylic paint for added interest.  

I mounted the piece onto some pink cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

I hope you get a chance to check out what our talented DT's have created and hope you will come and play along with us!!
