Seasonal Blooms for The Flower Challenge

Hello friends!  I'm back with my reminder card for The Flower Challenge.  This month the theme is to include a stamped flower.

TFC 95 Reminder

 

For my card at the beginning of the month, I used a new stamp set, so for the reminder, I went with an older but well love stamp.

This is such a large stamp that I ended up making a 5" x 7" card.  Of course, the image could be trimmed down but I wanted to include both sunflowers, so I went big!  

I colored it using both Copic and Olo markers.  Even with this large of an image, it didn't seem to take too long to get done and once I was finished I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

The background was inked with a light blue, then the floral image adhered to it after adding two additional die cut layers under it for some dimension.  I chose a large sentiment because of all the open real estate on the top of the card, plus I always love using those fancy sentiment dies with the flourished tails!  Before adhering the sentiment, I added a bit of white splatter.  No embellishments this time, I thought the splatter was sufficient.

If you haven't played along with us yet this month, grab your favorite floral stamp and join us!  Or if you already have a card in the gallery, why not add a second one - the challenge will remain open through the 25th of the month, so plenty of time yet.  Do be sure to pop over and check out all the beautiful reminder cards from my talented teammates - lots more inspiration!

Thanks for visiting and take care!
