Hello!! Hope everyone had a lovely Easter. Popping in with another card for the current Color Throwdown. Just love that combo and had to use it one more time!! I paired it up with the current layout from CAS(E) This Sketch and the new challenge over at Where Creativity Meets C9 to create a one layer card. I pulled out the gorgeous C9 Hello Lovely stamp set and got to work. I wanted the outline of the floral image to be less noticeable so I used SSS Fog ink to stamp the image and then got to work stamping all of the watercolor like images in the set. These images don't fit perfectly within the outlines, but give it a looser look. I did some second generation stamp with some of the larger images like the large flower that was stamped in SU!'s Flirty Flamingo (a nice pinky coral) and the larger leaves (stamped in Pear Pizzazz). The center of the flower was stamped with Flirty Flamingo at full strength. Finished up with stamping the smaller flowers in SU!'s So Saffron and then all the little leaves with Pear Pizzazz at full strength. The large word lovely was stamped in black ink and then I embossed the happy birthday (from Beautiful Butterfly) in white on vellum. Trimmed it down and adhered it along with some clear sparkly sequins. I'm going to add this to the current Less is More challenge of spring walk.
Supplies: white cardstock, vellum; Stamps: Concord & 9th; Inks: Simon Says Stamp Fog, SU! Pear Pizzazz, Flirty Flamingo & So Saffron, VersaFine Onyx Black, VersaMark watermark ink; JudiKins white embossing powder; clear sparkle sequins

An enchanting card Rosemary. The delicate and soft colours really suit that beautiful stamp and the vellum adds to the delicate look too. Really like the bold 'lovely' - what a gorgeous swooshy font that is. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a great take on the sketch, Rosemary!!!! You achieved a wonderful soft look with how you did the stamping of the flowers and I love the sentiment on the vellum and stamped over the edge at the bottom!!!! Such a great feminine look!!!
