Sending Hugs for Sunday Stamps

Hello, my friends!  We have a new challenge over at Sunday Stamps and this time it is a color challenge with some bold, vibrant colors!


Originally I was going to use the purple, blue and yellow but ended up using the gray and didn't find a way that I liked to use the blue.  


I used the Altenew Casual Bouquets stamp and die set for my florals.  I like this set because it has mirror images of each floral so if you wanted to they could offset in a wreath or on opposite sides of the card.  But I couldn't decide which one I want to use, to I colored them with my Copics and ended up with one of each style on this card.  I ended up making a second card with the other two images, which is the last photo of the post.


Next I die cut the flowers plus two additional layers out of white and adhered them for some dimension.  I used an Altenew cover die for the background then added the flowers after determining where to put the sentiment, which is a handy dandy SSS Reverse Sentiment strip.  It was also added to a couple layers of scrap cardstock before adding to the front.  Lastly I added a few silver pearls for a little bling.



Below is the second card I made, but I layered the flowers and sentiment on top of an embossed panel that was splattered with just a little bit of Jet Black ink spray.


Thanks for taking time to stop by.  Now I hope you'll head on over to the challenge blog where the other DT members have some fabulous cards that will hopefully inspire you to join us for this color challenge!

Take care!

Stef
