Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday! I'm excited to announce that today begins a new challenge month at the new Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. This is a new monthly challenge that focuses on florals. There will be a moodboard provided as inspiration, the main focal/focus of entries must be flower related and you can enter up to 8 times a month.
The challenges run from the 15th of the month to the 12th of the following month. There will be a Randomly chosen winner and Top 3 picks each challenge with occasional prizes being awarded. The moodboard for this month is as follows:
This is a great moodboard to get the ball rolling for this cold January. It's a monochromatic winter color palette with lovely images. For my design team project, I've used the Exotic Tulips Layering Stamp and Coordinating Die Sets from Altenew to create a sweet and simple card design.
To start, I've ink blended a panel using Catherine Pooler "Sand Castle" ink. I've stamped the floral layers using graduated shaded of blue inks from Altenew, the leaves were stamped using 2 shades of Catherine Pooler grays and all pieces cut using the coordinating floral dies.
Before assembling the card, the blended panel was splattered with diluted Sand Castle ink and White Gloss Acrylic Spray. The sentiment, from the Creative Expressions "Festive Script Sentiments Stamp Set" was stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and silver gems from Kat Scrappiness were added as a final touch.
I hope you will visit The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and check out what my teammates have created for this challenge. They have created some stunning projects and I hope you'll play along with us. We look forward to seeing how you are inspired by the moodboard.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
