The Flower Challenge #31 Reminder

Hi there, just back with my reminder DT card again for 'The Flower Challenge' today. If you don't remember we have a sketch for you to follow this month. See it below my card.

We hope you will try and join in, it's easier than it looks really it is! just use two odd strips of card you have hanging about.....and three flowers and that's it !

I decided to use blue and red for a change...not my usual combination but we have to get out of our comfort zone sometimes don't we ;)

Ok draw up a chair and come and see my card.....and thanks for the visit and any comments you may leave too ;)

Smooth White card

Glossy Photo paper

The Ton Wishful Wildflowers stamps

TH Alcohol inks

Versafine Onyx Black ink

Zig pens

I decided to use a few different colours this time. Quite a contrast I think blues, turquoises and reds  but I do like it. I made my background like last time dropping various colours onto my photo paper along with my blending solution.

Once dried I cut my two panels like last time  and attached them both to my card base. I stamped and fussy cut my flowers then coloured them using my zig pens. I used 3d pads to raise them up a bit when attaching them to my card base.

Please add our cue card below when entering our challenge.

You have until the 25th April to enter. 

The Flower Challenge #31 'Sketch'

Hi there friends, I am back with another DT card for 'The Flower Challenge'. This month we want you to use a sketch. I will leave the sketch and cue card below my card as usual.

March was a very busy month for us and we were so happy to see so many of you taking part in our challenge last month. I hope you will join us again this time too, see my lovely team mates cards there also, such beautiful cards.

Anyway here is my card, I hope it inspires you all. I decided to try more alcohol inking again, just loving the pretty shades of blue/purple. I kept the flowers white for contrast.

Enjoy your week whatever you have planned ;)

A big welcome to my latest followers too, thanks for choosing to follow me ;)

ps. Oops while writing this post my smoke alarm went off lol. It seems I had put some veg on my hob to cook and forgotten to turn it down. Yes the pan was black (update!..now clean after soaking in biological washing powder, ...handy tip) and so was most of the veg.

Oh dear!...not the first time that has happened either I might add....(insert red face here) I usually manage to save the food though....ahem not this time alas. Lesson learned....don't write your blog post when cooking! So glad we have smoke alarms and at least I know they work too ;)

Glossy Photo card

AltENew Adore You stamps & dies

TH Alcohol inks

Versafine Onyx Black ink

I used the alcohol inks on some glossy photo paper (using the non shiny side...which works best I find). Once I had made my background, I cut two panels from it.

After attaching the first strip to my card base I raised the last one up slightly before adding it to my card base.

I stamped my flowers and added them to my card using  3d pads on the largest flower for interest. I decided not to colour them to keep a more 'clean' look to my card.
