Why not get out your card supplies and create a card for the challenge ... hopefully my card will inspire you to have a go. Need more inspiration? then pop over to the blog and check out the brilliant cards from all the design team.
It is unusual for me to use a coloured base for my card but I felt that the flowers worked well on the softness of the Kraft card. I wanted to use some black embossing paste through a stencil as a backdrop and sometimes black looks very harsh against a white background. The flowers were created by inking the back of a stencil with distress inks and then spritzing with water before placing on some water colour card - when this was dry I stamped the matching images with versafine onyx black ink.
I used:
STAMPlorations - Bloom Sketches Stamp Set
STAMPlorations - Dots all Over and Daisy Dance Stencils
Dreamweaver - Matt Black Embossing Paste
Distress Inks - Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade and Carved Pumpkin
Clearly Besotted - Notebook Edge Die
I hope you will join in with the challenge and look forward to seeing your creations.
Enjoy!
Popped in to say I love your card. Great layout and fun idea to use the notebook edge die. Fabulous colour combination too and such a clever way to use the bloom stamps..love it x

ReplyDeleteWow! Love your card, and what you did with the edges to match the background is simply brilliant! Tfs
ReplyDeleteStop it! How clever and cute to use the notebook edge as a border on your flower paintings and sediment banner?!!! Pinning! Unique and lovely, Elaine, and just perfect against the black ep dots. I agree, the softness of the kraft was an inspired idea!! Hugs, Darnell
