Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday! Today begins a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. The challenges are Always Anything FLORAL Goes with an Optional Mood Board for Inspiration, and Florals must be the Focus of your design.
I'm usually inspired by and decide to use the optional mood board, and I have done so this month as well. The mood board for this month is:
I love the combination of colors in this mood board, so for my design team project, I've colored images from the "Breezy Bouquet" Stamp Set by Memory Box using Copic Alcohol Markers.
This is a large floral image, which made it easy to color and I also like the large sentiment, both of which were cut out using the coordinating dies. I've made a frame using nesting stitched rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness, and backed the image with a distressed Polka Dot panel.
Before arranging everything on the card panel, I've splattered the florals with Dr. Ph. Martin's Pen White Ink. I like this ink because it stays true white when dry; it doesn't pick up any of the colors underneath.
Lastly, I've popped the sentiment on foam pads and added blue gems. In hindsight, I should have colored both florals orange, but the yellow does break up the color palette and adds interest.
We hope you'll stop by the challenge and join in this month! We always love visiting everyone and being inspired by your floral designs.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

Gorgeous floral image. Great choice to back the image with the black polka dot patterned paper. I think it really helped the focal image pop. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
