Hello there. I am Guest design Team Member at Dragonfly Dreams challenge for this coming month.
The theme for the challenge is ‘birthday‘. Here is my card:
The main floral images are from Pinkfresh Studio, stamped twice, then coloured using the matching layering stencils. I varied the colours on each layer of the stencils, not just sticking to one colour each layer, and used a liberal amount of masking/low tack tape to cover some areas up – I am quite a robust ink blender when it comes to stencils.
I gave a deeper pressure towards the centre of the flowers to try and give some dimension, then die cut with the matching die set.
The background is a hot foil plate – also from Pinkfresh Studio – and used as more of an interest in the background. Once this panel was adhered to the card base, I attached both of the floral images as you see with 3D foam, added a foiled sentiment strip, and some gold sequins dotted around.
I hope you can come and join us in the challenge this month with your birthday themed projects.
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Addicted To Stamps and More – birthday
Krafty Chicks – anything goes
Beautiful Blossoms – flowers
Challenge Up Your Life – anything goes
Pinspirational – birthday and leaves
Die Cut Divas – anything goes with die cuts
The flowers are a real eye-catcher on your card.
The golden foiling makes it something special.
Thanks for sharing it at CUYL.
