The Flower Challenge #94

Hello, my friends!  It's August already - I am NOT ready to say goodbye to Summer, are you?  Apparently either is The Flower Challenge ... take a look at the gorgeous inspiration for Challenge 94 - it's a COLOR challenge!

 

I adore each and every color in this TFC rainbow - and love 
that bit of grey in the mix!

I've reached for Altenew's Eclectic Bouquet once again and these inks:


Together they added beautiful color to my bouquet:


The image was stamped in VersaFine Clair: Morning Mist ink,
stenciled with the layered coloring stencils, and cut
with its die.  Then I used my SU Subtle Texture to emboss the negative cut.
Residual ink on my blending brushes added shadow to the cut
edges and then my bouquet was popped up for dimension.
That sweet sentiment is also from this set... a few sequins and my playtime
is complete!

You have plenty of time to make one or two cards to add to our gallery - we can't wait to see what you'll make of our colors!  You'll find lots of gorgeous inspiration on The Flower Challenge page HERE.

    What a beautiful bouquet, Michele! Your colors are gorgeous together and I love how the soft ink surrounds the die cut and makes it stand out even more. It makes my heart happy.

    Oh, Michele, you certainly used a wonderful floral set and stenciled it so beautifully with our colors! I love that you die cut it, embossed the reminder then added the florals back with dimension. Such a lovely effect and a gorgeous card!
