Happy Sunday, Crafty Friends!
Today, I am sharing a card project for The Flower Challenge. This month's card challenge is pretty pastels. With spring in the air, this is a perfect time to head into your craft room and start playing with your favorite floral stamps and dies.
To create this card, I used Altenew's Beautiful Day stamp and die set. I inked the flowers using Catherine Pooler's lovely purples, and Altenew's green palette for the leaves. I wanted to add some visual interest to the background and achieved this by using Altenew's retired Dot Art stamp. I heat embossed the leaves with gold embossing powder and added a bit of color with a deeper purple inked background. A simple sentiment completes this card.
Thank you for stopping by. For more inspiration, visit The Flower Challenge Blog. We are looking forward to seeing what you create!
Happy Crafting,
Keia
Welcome to the team, Keia! You have created a marvelous, pastel card for us at The Flower Challenge! So happy you could join us this month!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I didn't buy that 'dot art' set from Altenew! It adds such beautiful interest to the background, without stealing the show from your gorgeous lavender blooms!
