Hi everyone. Back with a reminder for
The Flower Challenge #57 - CAS. This month we are sponsored by the wonderful
Joy Clair Designs and I have used the same digital stamp set as my first card
(Floral Joy Digital Stamp) for this challenge
HERE. Changing up the design really gives a totally different look.
This time I printed out the individual elements of the open flower, closed flower, and two leaf sprigs. I fussy-cut before sponging colour, and in hindsight, it would have been easier to sponge first. Those leaves are pretty small! :) I used Distress Inks to sponge the leaves (Mowed Lawn), along with Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet for the flowers (I love these two colours together). I shaped all the pieces with a stylus and mat to add dimension. Then popped up the pieces onto the inside cut of a frame die
(Sewing Stackers - Penny Black). Love the reversed scallop edging with this design! To finish, I stamped the sentiment
(Essential Sentiments - Maker's Movement) in Wilted Violet and then stamped over top with Chipped Sapphire. The mix of colours looks great with the flowers.

I hope you'll check out the challenge blog to see the beautiful reminder cards from our Designers. And if you haven't had a chance to play along yet, come join the fun! Challenge is open until end of day June 25th.
