Thinking of You for The Flower Challenge

Hello and welcome!  It's time for the June challenge at The Flower Challenge and this month the prompt is to use Blue and Yellow for your floral images as we continue to honor Ukraine.  You may also use green for the leaves along with black and white as neutrals, as long as the challenge colors are the most prominent.

The Flower Challenge

My card uses a newer set from Pinkfresh Studio, using the hot foil plate, dies and stencils.  I actually received the stamp, dies and stencils in late March when I attended a card making event and then was happy to add the hot foil plate when it became available in April.

Starting with the hot foiling, I used Gold Glimmer hot foil for the image outline.  Next, out came the stencils, using three shades of blue and two of green.  The image was die cut then layered on two additional dies cuts in white for dimension.  I love to color but stenciling sure does make creating quicker.

Next I ink blended a lively yellow on a panel of white, then it was trimmed down using diagonal stitched rectangle die.  It was matted on a panel of blue, then added to the white card base with foam tape.  The floral image was adhered to the card, as was the foiled sentiment I had in my stash.  Lastly I added a few pearls and gems from a newer Lucy's Cards collection that I was happy to discover included blues and yellows.

Okay, now it's your turn to get creative with these colors!  You have until the 25th of the month and for more inspiration, be sure to take a look at all the beautiful Design Team cards!

Take care!
