I had that fabulous win over at Pinkfresh in January - guess what was included in that prize? BACKGROUND STAMPS!! I'm happy to remind you today that you have plenty of time to create a FLORAL card focusing on background stamping for Challenge #79 at The Flower Challenge!
When using a new stamp for the first time, I often follow the wonderful example of color combinations offered by Pinkfresh - they are the pros! I didn't have the exact colors, or the Pinkfresh inks, but I got pretty close:
Then I took it one step further and added a little blue sky behind their blooms!
Let's see if you can find the final treatment my background was treated to...
It's soon going to be graduation season around here - one word says it all!
So. Have you treated us to your background stamping yet? There's still time, and there is plenty of inspiration from The Flower Challenge team!

ReplyDeleteMichele this is one beautiful design! So nice that you had that big win at PinkFresh. They couldn't have gifted it to a better designer! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring, and great use of the light blue to make those pretty colors pop! I think using the original for color inspiration is a popular route, but that's okay because then we're inspired on
