Hello Flowers

Hello again!  I hope you're doing well.  Today I'm sharing a card made for three challenges - Color Hues, The Flower Challenge and The Paper Players.




For my card, I did use a stamp with two of my very favorite flowers - anemone (I think that's what it is on the stamp lol!) and peony - and colored the images in teal and two shades of purple.  The stamp is a background stamp so I just used a portion of the colored image for my A2 sized card.


I love these huge floral images and they are so wonderful to color.  It was stamped on an A2 panel of white, colored with Copic markers then trimmed down to fit the card design.   A white gel pen added back the ends of the stamen that were muted by the coloring.


A separate panel of white was embossed with a large polka dot folder, adhered to a white card base, then the colored panel added to the top portion.  A strip of black was added at a slant, then the die cut sentiment was adhered on top.  I looked through my stash of enamel dots and was happy to find some in a teal shade. I love the embossed polka dots for the subtle texture they add, yet keeping things CAS.


Thanks for taking time to visit, I always appreciate it!  Take care!

Stef

Oh, Stef, this is just too beautiful! Wow! Such beautiful big blooms that you have coloured to perfection. The addition of polka dot embossing, and resin dots, elevates the card to another level. Outstanding, my friend!
