Hello, It’s time for our next challenge over at Just Us Girls. It is photo week and Cecile is our wonderful hostess. I drew my inspiration from the colors and the stick things coming out of the block of wood, they reminded me of flowers. Plus, I had a brand new die-cut that I had been itching to use.
Card Details: The cover plate die is Stitched Diamonds from Pink Fresh Studio. The flower die is called Morning Blossom and is from Simon Says Stamps. I tried inking them a bit with Oxide Inks for some dimension. The sentiment is from Gina K and heat embossed. The card didn’t photograph well and looks so much better in person.
I didn’t love the way the first card turned out so I decided to make another one using one of my favorite color combos of Pink and Grey. This one photographed a bit better too.
Along with the other supplies I mentioned we have ; a SU Script EF, Stitched scallop rectangle is from MFT, and the Sympathy greeting is from Sunny Studios- Inside Greetings set.
Have a great day and I hope you head on over to Just Us Girls and join us! Nanc’

Nancy… love both editions! The monochrome card, though, is brilliant!

They’re both lovely, Nancy! There’s something so wonderfully serene about the first one!

The brown flowers work great for the challenge, Nancy, and I love the shading you did. The pink and gray one is wonderful too.

When you can get inspiration for those stick things, you are an artist. Lol I love both but have a special liking for the first one.

Both of your versions are beautiful! I love that background and those flowers are fabulous with the soft shading on those petals. Love how the photo inspired you.

You made me laugh when I read about the ‘stick things’. I didn’t know what to call them either hehe. Love the colour tones on the first one with the subtle background and your pink/grey combo looks amazing. Great floral die.

Those flowers are gorgeous, Nancy! I love how you inked them in various shades of the same color, the result is absolutely beautiful. The neutral colors version makes a perfect take on the inspiration photo.
