Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!
Today's card is made with this weeks color challenge on Stacey's Stamping Stage. This weeks colors are Bordering Blue, Tangerine Tango, Summer Sun and Whisper White.
I used the Awash with Flowers stamp set. I stamped just the outline stamp of the flowers with black stazon onto watercolor paper. I colored the flowers in with my aqua painter and tangerine and summer sun ink. I did add a bit of old olive for the leaves and stem and colored in the BG with bordering blue. I cut this out with the top note die and then cut off the bottom and side. I cut two top notes with the bordering blue and pieced together the mat.
I liked the main image, but then I was a bit lost as what to do with the rest of the card. I tried a white base and thought it looked too stark so I then cut a base with the watercolor paper and like that. I wanted to keep the BG layers fairly minimal so I just used some strips of the three colors. The sentiment is form the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. I stamped it with black stazon onto the tangerine strip, I then pierced along punch along the strip. I used the scallop trim edge punch along the bottom strip of bordering blue. The summer sun DS paper is from the retired Good Morning Sunshine paper pack. I added a piece of the top note that I had trimmed away on the main panel at the top. I finished it off with three orange rhinestones.
I had liked this card when I first made it but after looking at it awhile I am not so happy with it now......not sure why??
Oh well, that is all from me today, THANKS so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!
