Hi there!
I fell in love with this "Swoopy flowers" set from Simon Says stamp the moment I saw it. It's been sitting on my desk since I received it, so yesterday was the day to ink it up. I was so eager to color it with the coordinating stencil, I colored the two flower buds on the sides green instead of yellow ! But the star of the show in the middle, looked so pretty I just decided to use it as is! Next time I will remember it's flowers and not leaves!
I used :
- Swoopy Flowers stamp and coordinating stencil
- Altenew inks
- Gina K amalgam black ink
- Silhouette cameo to cut out the flowers
- Circle die as a mask
- Dot/bubble stencil (manufacturer unknown)
- Foam adhesive tape from Altenew
- Rhinestones
My card was inspired by four challenges :
Just us girls challenge ~ Mood board - I played with the flower/Spring theme, the yellows and greens, and the background was inspired by the picture of the lemons which look like little dots to me :)
Tic Tac Toe challenge ~ I playing with the diagonal row : Sentiment-Flowers-Stencil
The flower challenge ~ Die cuts/ stencils - I used a stencil for the BG and stencil to color the image.
The paper players ~ CAS - Spring has sprung
Thanks for visiting me today!
Hannelie
Heel mooi !!!

Hannelie... I can see why you fell in love with this set. The flowers are beautiful as is you coloring. Wonderful in yellow! As always thanks so much for joining and sharing at TIC TAC TOE and JUST US GIRLS this week.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. How do you use your Silhouette die cuts? Do you cut then stamp?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, Hannelie! This image looks amazing against the stenciled backdrop. I was so mesmerized by the image and the gorgeous color combination you used, that I did not even notice the buds were green. I think it looks great! Thank you so much for playing in my challenge this week at The Paper Players!

ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious floral card Hannelie, thanks for sharing with us over at 'The Flower Challenge' ;) Viv DT xx
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest card, Hannelie! It made me giggle when I read about your after the fact realization that they were not leaves but I think it looks fab as is, and why not use a bit of artistic license, right? I also love the stenciled background, it just makes everything pop. Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Flower Challenge!
