Hi all and thanks for dropping by! I am the sketch hostess this week over at Freshly Made Sketches.
I wanted to play along with the Turquoise theme at The Flower Challenge, so stamped four tulips and coloured them all slightly differently to give what is as close to a monochromatic look as I could get. I coloured the leaves gray to add to the whimsical and modern look.
Before adhering the tulips to the card base, I sponged on some distress ink in an ombre fashion before splattering some of the same ink. I adhered the fussy-cut tulips to the card base then splattered on some gold ink. I then added a thin strip of cardstock and the black strip with a gold-embossed sentiment.
Finally, I finished with some gold confetti.
Thanks for visiting! I hope you'll check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the DT and I hope you'll play along this week.
Products used:
Stamps: Whimsical Tulip (Altenew), Mon Ami (CASual Fridays)
Ink: Amalgam (Gina K Designs) Peacock Feathers, Broken China Distress Ink, Enchanted Gold (Altenew)
Cardstock: White, Black, Adriatic (Hero Arts), X-Press It
Accessories: Copics, Antique Gold EP, gold confetti
Cheers
