Morning all!
We’ve made it to Friday!
And as it’s the first Friday of the month, there’s a brand-new elemental inspiration challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog!
Here’s the prompt we’re working with:
The elements I went with were the colour palette, the droplets, and the florals:
Stamps: The Greetery – Print Shop: Spring Mix, The Greetery – Sign Off Sentiments
Dies: The Greetery – Herringbone Parquet, The Greetery – Print Shop: Spring Mix, The Greetery – Sign Off Sentiments, The Stamp Market – Fringe Borders
I started out by stencilling and stamping the Spring Mix flowers on white cardstock, cut out with the matching dies.
I needed a pop of colour for the background and the Sea Glass cardstock from Concord & 9th was a great choice. The A2 panel is impressed with the Herringbone Parquet die and I then used kraft and the peacock fringe border to kind of create the look of a balcony planter.
Once again, the Sign Off sentiments provided the perfect sentiment accent that would stand out against all those colours.
And as a finishing touch, I added Glossy Accents to the flower centres.
Make sure you check out the card projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
