Hello friends. I saw the new Color Hues Challenge of Pink and Grey so naturally I thought of flowers and the Flower Challenge which wants us to add embellishments.
I used a new to me set from Altenew called Dreamy Dahlias - stamps, dies, and stencils. It is a large image so I used my SU Stamparatus (ret.) to stamp the image on white. I used blending brushes, the stencils and SU Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink, Smokey Slate and Basic Gray inks to color the image. I then cut it apart to fit on my card (5-1/2 by 4-1/4). I die cut SSS Double Plaid Cover from white and adhered it to the card base. I then arranged the flowers like I wanted, sticking the flower stems under the bottom of the die cut and adding foam tape to the flowers and leaves. I stamped the sentiment in Basic Grey ink and glued it over the flower stems. I added some Nuvo Jewel Drops, which matched the flowers perfectly, for embellishments. I really like the finished card and it will be going to some good friends for their anniversary.
I will also link to Darnells NBUS as this is the first time I have used the Altenew set.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
Beautiful dahlias, JoAnn! I love these shades of pink and the plaid die cut background adds wonderful texture!
ReplyDeleteI like the soft shades you used, JoAnn! This is quite dreamy!
ReplyDeleteThe soft colors and beautiful design make for a very elegant card! Thanks for sharing it with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, your Dahlias are gorgeous and though that grey isn't nature's choice, it makes my heart sing! The lovely little sparkly gems were the perfect finishing embellishments! Thanks for playing along with us at The Flower Challenge again, my friend!
