I'm also playing along with the Anything Goes option at Seize the Birthday.
It was not a hard choice for me to go with flowers and one of my most used floral stamp sets worked perfectly with these colors.
The image is from Altenew's Fragrant Floral Craft Your Life set, which includes a large floral and sentiment stamps, a die for the large floral and a layered stencil set. I opted to use my Copic and Olo markers rather than the stencil to color this.
I'm afraid Gorgeous Grape got a bit short-changed in this image, but it is there on the small berries. I'd used a stamp positioner to stamp the image and after coloring but before die cutting, I put the panel back in it and stamped with black pigment ink for a nice, crisp image.
After die cutting I added a second die cut layer then adhered it to the postage edge panel, which was then added to the card base with foam tape. The sentiment is from an old MFT set and was cut with a label die and popped up with thin foam squares. The final two steps were to use a white paint pen with a fine tip to color the flower stamen and add three opal gems.
Thanks so much for visiting and it would be wonderful if you'd take a moment to hop over to the challenge blog where the rest of the design team has some fabulous cards to inspire you. The challenge will remain open until Friday June 19th at 3pm EDT. I hope you'll join us this week!
