Hi there!
I love Cécile's sketch at Freshly made sketches this week! I thought it was just the layout I needed to make my next closet inspired card!
Another floral & stripe design... what can I say... I love the combination and find it irresistible both to wear and as design elements for my cards :)
For today's card I focused just on one cluster of flowers and not to recreate all of the pattern... That would just be too much for a CAS card 😄
The inspiration:

Thanks for visiting me today!
Wishing you a wonderful week.

The inspiration:
I used:
- Pretty-pansies-stamp-set from Altenew
- Classy-stripes-stencil from Altenew
- Sentiment from Altenew Beautiful-day
- Altenew inks & Versafine Black ink
- Promarker yellow
- Blue rhinestones
A little something I learned while experimenting with different layers of color on the pansies, is to not stamp the first solid layer. Just leave it out. The second and third layer cover the whole flower except for the yellow part (see my card). You can then use a marker to color that area instead of stamping it because when you stamp the bottom layer say for instance in light blue, and you want to add some yellow as accent color, you know what happens... yellow and blue makes green !
Thanks for visiting me today!
Wishing you a wonderful week.

What a gorgeous card! Those pansies are so pretty and I love the striped background! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Love this card Hannelie! Tell me how come I was not a follower of you blog? I have been admiring your work for so long.
Really, really pretty and looks exactly like the inspiration piece. Your designs are always amazing!
That pansy stamp set is so pretty, and you've colored them beautifully! I love the floral and stripe combination, too.
You certainly were inspired by your pretty blouse and the sketch challenge, but made your CAS design...all yours! TFS Hannelie. Hugs
So beautiful in blue! Your flowers are perfect! Glad you joined us at FMS,
I love your Closet Inspired series, Hannelie! A pretty blouse and a fantastic card! Using a stencil for the stripes is a clever way to keep the focus on the pretty pansies. And thanks for sharing the tips on the layered stamping. Hideko xx
Lovely, Hannelie ... so fresh and pretty! Hugs, Anita :)
Pretty pansies against the stripes! Your blouse looks cool and comfortable and it inspired a beautiful card!
Your pansies are so beautiful Hannelie. Great tip about not stamping the first layer ... thanks! Love the combnation of the flowers over top of the soft striped background. Great design! xx
