Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday to you. Today begins a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. Our optional mood board contains gorgeous seasonal colors, which inspired my card today.
For my card, I've used the "Like a Sunflower" Stamp Set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I stamped onto Tim Holtz watercolor paper and water colored using my Gansai Tambi paints.
After the paint was dry, I masked off the edges of the panel using Pixie Tape from iCraft and lightly inked around the inside of the masked area using Catherine Pooler inks. This method was directly inspired by Jill Foster with Penny Black.
I've kept the design simple, the cardbase is Pecan Pie card from Stampin' Up, the green mat is Mossy Meadow, also from Stampin' Up. Lastly, I've added clear droplets from Kat Scrappiness. The sentiment is from the same stamp set as the image.
I hope you'll pop over to the challenge and share your Floral Focused projects with us. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
