I'm also joining in over at the Time Out Challenge. This time we are to Pick Two, so I'm choosing floral and stencil.
As you could tell from the blog title, I chose to use flowers. I debated about making an Easter card because I think the colors would work equally well for that occasion, but the flowers won out.
The stamp set has three dainty flower stamps and four butterflies, so lots of variety. I used the coordinating stencils to color the images and the dies to cut them out as well as the sentiment.
I lightly ink blended Salvage Patina Distress ink on a white panel the cut it down with a postage edge rectangle die. The shorter flowers were adhered directly to the panel except for the largest flower in the group to which I added thin foam squares. The remaining floral image along with the sentiment and large butterfly were layered on two additional die cuts before adding to the panel. The right wing of the wee little butterfly was glued down and a small piece of foam tape added a little dimension to the left wing. It's not visible in the photos but I used an aqua shimmer pen to add glitter to all the images, then finished things off using a white gel pen for the flower stamen.
What do these colors inspire you to create? I hope you'll show us this week, we'd love to see what you come up with. Do take a moment to pop over to the PP blog as my teammates have some lovely cards to provide further inspiration. The challenge remains open until Friday, April 18th at 3pm EDT.
Thanks for visiting and take care!
