Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to Wednesday! Today begins a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. The challenge theme is Always Anything Flowers/Florals Goes with an Optional Mood Board for Inspiration. The mood board this month is:
I was inspired by the gorgeous shades of blue in this board and took the opportunity to make an unexpected style of holiday card. I've used the Craft-a-Flower Fashion Monger Dahlia Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Altenew.
This is a layering stamp set and I've used various shades of blue Catherine Pooler inks to stamp out each floral layer, the leaves used 2 shades of green and the flower centers used 2 shades of orange. All pieces were cut with the coordinating die set.
I've popped the center flower on foam pads, the embossed white panel was sent to me by a swap buddy, the glitter and light blue panels are card stocks from Recollections, and lastly, the sentiment is a die cut from Simon Says Stamp that has been cut 3 times and layered to create a shadow and height. No other bells or whistles have been added, expect for a bit of Wink of Stella on the florals.
Please join us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge this month. We love visiting everyone and admiring the creativity! Until next time, Happy Crafting.
