Totally makes me think Spring Kelly...THANK YOU!! I had a birthday last week, and my sweet friend Birgit spoiled me with a bunch of new crafty gifts, including a new (to me) die set from Altenew called Craft-A-Flower: Bellflower Layering Die Set. This challenge was the perfect way to break in this set of dies! Take a look...
I just love how colors POP off of a black background, don't you?!! I die cut everything from white cardstock (except the "bloom" sentiment) and then ink blended all the pieces.
I sprinkled some water onto my flowers and leaves after coloring them to add the water spots, and then when dry, also added a bit of shading with my Prismacolor pencils. I ran my black panel through Altenew's Waffled Diamonds EF and attached to a white card base before adding my flowers and leaves.
In this close up you can see the embossed background a bit better. After adding my sentiment, I decided it still needed something, so I added the white splatter's and a few clear water droplet gems from Trinity Stamps.
Kelly has some absolutely GORGEOUS cards to inspire you and there are also so many beauties already in the gallery, so check it all out right HERE, and then play along. This challenge is open till Feb. 28th @ 11:55PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
