Hello Friends and Happy Thursday! I trust you had a wonderful Valentine's Day and had the opportunity to spend time with the one/ones you love.
Today begins a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. The theme is Always Anything Floral Goes with an Optional Mood Board used for Inspiration. The mood board this month has an array of lovely colors:
For my design team project, I've used the digital stamp "Winter Flowers" from Alex Syberia Designs and colored the florals using Prismacolor Pencils. This digital set contains a single image, which I've used here and a double image sized for an A2 card.
I've kept the overall design fairly simple, using a die cut sentiment and foiled background panel received from card swap buddies. I've fussy cut the floral image, popped on craft foam and nestled it into the lower right hand corner.
The thick black border is dramatic, it's a card panel but appears as a frame. In hindsight, I should have used a frame and saved myself some black cardstock. To finish the design, I've added complimentary pink enamel dots.
I invite you to join us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge this month. There is a lovely floral stamp set from Studio Katia up for grabs, and of course, we always love seeing everyone's floral designs.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

AYLI - I like Digi stamps primarily for storage. As I've gotten older, I've tried to maintain a clean and simple craft space and digi's don't take up much room.
