Hello and happy weekend!
A couple of floral cards today, the first is my second take on the
April Inspiration challenge over at Altenew. I bought a gel press recently - it's very addictive but I've found that even after creating all these backgrounds I still hanker after white space as you can tell by these cards!
For the card above I used a lighter version of the grey/blue in the inspiration challenge and mixed a couple of dye inks on the gel press to get the right tone, then put the
Altenew Beach Towel Stripes over the top of the ink and brayered over the top. I like the subtlety of it, particularly as I'm never quite sure what to do with loud backgrounds!
The second card is using the pretty colour palette over at
Sunday Stamps. The same process for the background but this time I used the
Forest Foliage stencil from Funky Fossil. I added the Clearly Besotted Beautiful Friend blooms and sentiment, then framed it with a PTI die.
I'm sure I'll branch out and experiment with brighter colours - watch this space!
Happy stamping!
Claire
