I was inspired by the colors in this beautiful spray and also the vertical design, and came up with this card using a Gina K stamp set called Wild Blossom.
My colors came out a little more peachy than orange, but I still love the light and Spring-y feeling to this card. I used a technique Gina showed in one of her video chats to achieve a 2 step look by inking up the stamp in one color and then adding a 2nd layer of coloring using a marker (I used some of my old SU! markers) directly onto the stamp before stamping onto your cardstock. I did this with both the leaves and the flowers to create the layered look.
Here's a closer up so you can see the stamped layering a bit better. I finished this card with a birthday die cut from Gina's Lace Flowers stamp set and also added a few Disco Ball sequins also from Gina K. A pretty simple card but love the soft and delicate look to this one.
Lots of absolutely GORGEOUS inspiration from the DT and you can check it all out right HERE to play along.
