Hello and welcome! Today I'm sharing a card that I made for The Flower Challenge theme to add leaves and the Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge, which is Anything Goes.
I'm also joining the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is also Anything Goes.
I decided to go with a pink and gray for the flowers and used a light mint color in the background, going a little non-traditional for this Christmas card.
I love the delicate design of this stamp set. I used Copic markers to color it from the muted pinks in the R80s. I've had these markers almost since I first started learning to color with Copics four years ago but rarely use them. That is going to change - I love these pinks! After the coloring was complete, I used a white gel pen for the ends of the stamen and die cut the image with the matching die.
On another panel of white I stenciled a design using a light mint color (which unfortunately looks a bit grayed out in the photos). The panel was die cut then the word Merry was stamped in the upper right. The panel was added to a white card base, then the rest of the sentiment was heat embossed in silver on a strip of gray and die cut with a label die. The flowers were added with thin foam tape, as was the sentiment strip, then I used some silver embellies to finish things off.
Take care!
Stef
