Well, time has a way of sneaking around and we find ourselves back at Thursday, which means it's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge time! This week is a color challenge....
This sketch is loosely based on Mojo Monday 408.
These colors are very similar to the one's I used on last weeks card, but boy are they pretty! I'm LOVING the {Best Thoughts} hydrangea flower....isn't it gorgeous! First I embossed the flower with black embossing powder and then I colored it with a blender pen and ink pads. Next, I fussy cut the whole thing out. I needed to incorporate the Sahara Sand some how and tried a few different DSP's, but nothing seemed to work. I wound up making my own background using the resist technique. I stamped {Dotty Angles}on white cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then sponged the whole piece with Sahara Sand ink. I like the Bokeh effect it gives.
I added in the fabulous black DSP to enhance the black embossing on the flower. The ruffled lace ribbon adds a frilly feel. Lastly, I added a banner sentiment across the stem of the flower and accented it with a gold button with linen thread behind it.
I also dotted the flower's stamen with my white gel pen.
Be sure to hop on over to the CCMC blog and take a gander at all the other lovely creations made with this nice trio of colors!
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Gorgeous! Love the embossed white dots cascading from the top and bottom. The flower is watercolored perfectly and I love the white dot accents.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is gorgeous! The coloring on the flower is amazing and I love the contrast of the black paper with the rest of the card.
ReplyDeleteJenny your card this week is truly stunning! Your flower is beautifully coloured and all the other elements work so well to compliment it - the bokeh panel, black dsp and that fabulously frilly lace skirt. Just gorgeous!
