Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday! I hope you had a lovely St. Valentine's Day, my hubby always buys me a box of chocolates and a card. He always picks the best chocolates and thoughtful cards!
Today starts a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. Projects must feature a floral as the focus and a mood board is provided for inspiration, the mood board this month is:
I decided to use the mood board as inspiration. I never think to put pink and yellow together, it is so fresh and Spring-like so my project was definitely inspired by those colors in the mood board.
Some time ago, I purchased the Stick and Stamp Mat from Brutus Monroe and this large floral stencil was included with the purchase. I put the stencil away, knowing some day it would come in handy and I forgot about it. Imagine the Light Bulb that went off above my head while I was shopping my stash and found it!
Using Distress Oxide Inks, I placed the stencil off center on the panel and blended the inks. I splattered water and diluted pink ink over the panel and set it aside to dry. The sentiment is from Altenew and I finished the card with clear iridescent sequins.
Please visit us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and see what lovely projects my teamies have created. We hope to inspire you to play along.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

Absolutely beautiful!! I love these colors together and your added splatters and sequins are the perfect finishing touches! You need to add this beauty to our Stencil Fun challenge!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic use of the oversized stencil, Donna! Your oxides are so lovely in their overlapping, without changing to an orange color. But it is always your finishing touches that I marvel out. In this case, the water splatters remind me of summer days running through a sprinkler as my mom watered her garden. Lovely card! hugs, de

Donna, what beautiful card. That stencil you used is really nice. I have a lot of stencils and hardly use them. I guess I will have to dust them off and put them to use. Love the soft coloring you used, so pretty. Thank you for sharing with us over at Worldwide Crafters and Colorists Challenge.
