The Flower Challenge #31

Hello friends.  I am playing along with The Flower Challenge today, and this time it is a sketch challenge.


And here is the sketch they want us to follow:


I love sketch challenges because otherwise I tend to stick to the same layout all the time and it's good to change things up once in awhile!


I followed the sketch and used a couple new (to me!) Altenew products to make my card.  I used the Sketched Lines Stencil with Mountain Mist and Soft Lilac inks to create my vertical panels and then layered them both with Lilac Grace cardstock so they would stand out a bit more.  The shorter one is also popped up on some foam tape for a little more dimension.  For my flowers and sentiment I used the new Sweet Violet set with the Sea Shore (greens) and Shades of Purple mini ink cube sets.  I love using these coordinating ink cube sets for multi step stamping!!


After stamping and die cutting the flowers and leaves I mounted them to my stenciled panels and added that to my card base that I had splattered with a bit of black ink.  The sentiment is also from the Sweet Violet stamp set and then I finished off my card with a few light lavender sequins.

Check out all the amazing cards using this sketch from the DT right HERE and then play along!  This challenge is open till the 25th of this month, so plenty of time to still play along!

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I agree with you about the inks that are perfect for layering stamps, Maria. Your violets are lovely and the stenciled panels work well with them. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
