As the name suggests, this challenge was set up to celebrate floral images. This challenge is the brain child of Aileen Ryan and the gorgeous graphics and watermarks were created by DT member Viv Hodge. Our first challenge is Anything Goes and this is the card I made:
I used the beautiful Altenew set, Peony Bouquet and stamped it using their purple inks. I also stamped a couple of leaves from green inks. On the card base I sponged over a swirls stencil using Scattered Straw ink, focusing the color in the bottom left corner. I also stenciled over a frame that I then popped up on foam tape.
The sentiment was foiled using my Mini Minc machine.
Thanks for visiting. Please take the time to check out the challenge and also the gorgeous floral beauties created by the design team.
