Beautiful Blossoms Challenge - Calming Cluster

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday!  Today is the 15th of the month and that signals a new challenge start at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.  The challenge theme is Always Anything Flowers Goes with Optional Mood Board.   The optional board this month is:


I love the colors in this mood board and even though it's completely optional to use, I did allow the colors to inspire my project this month.

Using the Calming Clusters Stamp Set from Altenew, I've created a sweet and simple design.  The image has been colored using Prismacolor Pencils.


To highlight the image, I've die cut and embossed a simple frame and adhered flat to the floral panel. I gently rubbed white pigment ink over the embossing to make it pop.  I've also used splattering and lilac gems for an extra bit of interest.


Also, the team is excited to be collaborating with The Double Trouble Challenge #136 today through April 27th.  Please visit their challenge HERE and play along!


Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge!  Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Donna
