Hello Friends! It's time for a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. We have a lovely optional inspiration photo, however the challenges are Always Anything FLORAL Goes.
I was directly inspired by the optional photo of the vase of lovely Lily of the Valley flowers and chose to use the Spring Border Two Digital Stamp Set from Power Poppy for my card. This set includes a sweet Lily of the Valley image. Another thing to note - Lily of the Valley is the birth flower for May, along with the Hawthorn.
This month's optional inspiration photo:
Coloring this image using alcohol markers was quick and easy, the entire card was put together in under 30 minutes. I used a distressed edge ruler to tear the edges of the focal panel, then inked around it using Salty Ocean Distress Ink.
For additional interest, I popped the sentiment on foam pads; the sentiment is included in the digital set. I've rounded the bottom corners of the card base using the Crop-a-Dile corner chomper and added mini dew drops from Pink Fresh Studio.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

ReplyDeleteDonna, you did a beautiful job with this card! Lilies of the valley can sometimes be difficult because they’re white, but I love how you accessed it in blue and used torn edges for a focal point. Great card! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!

This is truly beautiful! Your lilies of the valley have such gorgeous colors. They look so natural – simply stunning. The background is beautifully die-cut, and the blue edges are so lovely. They stand out wonderfully against the blue base paper. The rounded corners add an interesting touch. The sentiment is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this wonderful card in the current Do-Al(l) Creative Challenge.
