Good morning lovely people,
It is an absolutely lovely sunny morning here, I hope it is the same where you are.
I am preparing for my Claritystampers East workshops over the next two weekends, I also want to do a card for the next Less is More challenge, the theme this week is 'Hello Sunshine' and as it happens, my new pearlescent Pan Pastels arrived just after I read the post, and there is the most gorgeous yellow and orange in the set, so that's just got to be done!
My card today is made using the beautiful Silk Ribbons Bouquet set from Claritystamp. This was designed by lovely Julie Owens, a fellow Clarity DT member, she is one talented lady!
I used my new Fresca chalk acrylic paints to do the background, I just lightly brayered lots of colours all round a piece of gelli card
I stamped the bouquet onto a separate piece of white card, then stamped the separate flowers onto spare pieces of the 'fresco'd' card.
I coloured the smaller parts of the bouquet with distress markers, then cut out the flowers and applied them over the top of the image and down the side of the card (after matting and layering!)
I added some glitter to the flowers, as a finishing touch.
The 'Thank You' comes from the new Wedding Stationery set
Hope you like it, don't forget to leave a comment! I am getting better at replying!
Have a lovely weekend

DeleteLovely artwork, the background is fantastic (I'm obsessed with making my own backgrounds) and really compliments Julie's beautiful bouquet stamp x
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, I know what you mean about backgrounds, I have a huge stash of lovely papers which I don't use because I like doing my own backgrounds xx
