Peach Flowers

 Hi and welcome.  Today's card is for the latest challenge from the Freshly Made Sketches team and our hostess this week is Jen Mitchell.  Jen has given us a sketch perfect for colour blocking, but that's not what I did!


This card is totally not what I had planned, but after seeing this blog post from Kristina Werner, I had to try my hand at this technique.  I chose some Peach Bellini cardstock and an Altenew stamp and stencil set and set to work.  Once the stamping and stenciling was finished, I cut the panel into four pieces to match the sketch and adhered the pieces to a white card base with foam tape.


I finished the card with an already-foiled sentiment and called it done!

Thanks so much for visiting.  The design team have some fabulous cards so be sure to check them out.


I'm linking this card up to The Flower Challenge where the focus is on background stamping.  I hope this is considered background stamping.  It covers the whole background, so I'm going with yes 😄

Stamps:  In the Woodland (Altenew)
Ink:  Amalgam (Gina K.), Unicorn White, Hero Arts, Seafoam, Clay Mask, Polished (Catherine Pooler)
Cardstock:  White, Peach Bellini (MFT)
Dies:  Modest Greetings 1 (Poppy Stamps)

Cheers
Karren

We ended up with same idea for this sketch! I love to cut up stamped images - although I'm nervous when I do it! I love how you to chose to use complementary colors for the background and the flowers. Such a great look!
