The Flower Challenge Reminder #70: CAS

 

Summer's in full swing in CA's Central Valley, hot and dry!

Keeping my precious flowers alive and blooming is always a task, 

and sometimes it works, sometimes, with temps at over 100 for weeks,

it's a loosing battle...

Fortunately, there's no shortage of colorful blooms in the craft room!

I'm bringing a reminder of our challenge at the Flower Challenge: CAS, 

Clean and Simple.

One central focus, with lots of white space. 

Pick a favorite flower and play along!

Hello die

The Flower Challenge #70 Reminder

Just Saying Hello

Hi there! Hope you like floral cards, because this post is all about dancing

petals, wild rich color, and full of my love of florals.

Altenew has a challenge for the month of March, featuring a field of wondrous reds, greens 

and soft grey blue.

Irresistible if you love lifelike flowers, multi stamping for realism, petals 

that wave in the breeze, and stems and leaves that beg for shading,

you're familiar with Altenew'ss. Build a Flower series. I'm a fan.

Particularly my newest, Build a Fower: Poppy.

Sentiment: Build a Flower: Japanese Mum, white embossed on a 

Stamplorations tag.

There are 3 stamps for each bloom; a linestamp and 2 stamps for

dimension. Once I stamped my 3 big blooms, I added copics for further depth.

Then did the same for my leaves. The smaller white flowers are included

in the set, and the trio of leaves I used to stamp the side panel, as well.

Also entering the Flower Challenge, Anything Goes, a blog challenge that

'celebrates cards using floral images'.

March 2019 Inspiration Challenge

Monochromatic Color Pop 'Hello'

MIM at PapertreyInk features Stephanie Gold with a fun technique of 

creating Monochromatic cards with a touch of Color Pop.

My card has a bit more than just, 'pop'. More 'pop, pop, pop'. Well you get the idea.

Once I started with the Aqua Mist, I just loved the contrast against the Stormy Sea,

and popped more color than the challenge calls for.

I do love the effect, and always love the idea of framing my sentiment, the 

way Stephanie did.

Make It Monday #294: Monochrome Color Pop

Hello

Create Along With Us, this month, has so many beauties, it's been

the hardest to pick one to case.

Couldn't take my eyes off Betsy's beauty, featuring the new tropical

stamps and dies, along with some of the dies from last month's release.

Oh my, just look at what she called, 'Hawaiian Shirt background'. 

My 'shirt' needs more practice, but with the steps she laid out 

so perfectly, I'll definitely do again!

Tropical color combos, and Leave It Be stamp and die set, sort of look like 

sea fans....
