Hello, crafting friends!
Have you joined in with the colour challenge at The Flower Challenge this month? Why not give it a go?
All you need to do is create a floral card using these colours. I love this palette and couldn't wait to make another card using it.
Believe it or not, my clean and simple note card was made with a balloon stencil and a Christmas stamp set as well as my favourite leafy stencil! Love stretching my craft supplies!
I took a thick card base and started by sponging pale blue ink into the circular balloon from Uniko's Balloon Bash stencil, masking off the balloon tie bit with a sticky note. The sentiment, from The Greetery's Pine Blossom, was stamped in the centre. There are two sizes of leaf on Uniko's Nature's Treasure stencil and I used them both, positioning them above and below my sentiment circle and sponging with green ink.
I used water-based markers in pinks and peaches to ink up some of the pretty flowers from the Pine Blossom set. Once they were stamped, I blended the colours with a colourless blender pen, adding detail with a green coloured pencil and a white paint pen. Finally, the flowers were fussy cut and attached to the leaf stems.
Okay, now it's over to you! Do hop over to the Flower Challenge challenge blog and check out the amazing samples the design team has made to inspire you.

I couldn't think of a more beautiful way to stretch your crafting supplies than creating this card, Vicky! I love wreaths, which this design reminds me of, and both the leaves and flowers are beautiful. I'm sorry about Eva's paw, but just think, it gives you more steps in your day but walking the dogs separately. Take care!
ReplyDeleteA lovely card. You're so clever to re-purpose those supplies, xoxo
