The Flower Challenge#83 |Use Spots/Stripes |Altenew

~ Sathya ~ 2 Comments

Hi Crafty peeps,

Am here today to share a floral card for the current challenge at The Flower Challenge. The theme for this month is Add Spots or Stripes and I went with stripes by simply scoring the right edge of the card for a neat and eclectic look by using scoring board. You can use stamp, pattern paper, diecut strips and as always keep the Florals in focus. It’a my first ever time stencilling over a stamped image. I love this bellflower image from Altenew. Such a sweet simple image which instantly makes us to color it. I have used different coloring medium (here here here )and this time inkblending.

Over to my card,

  • Took a sheet from Neenah solar crest and stamped the image from Always Be kind from Altenew.
  • Then using Altenew Always Be kind stencil and stencilled the stamped image using Altenew crisp dye inks.
  • Sentiment is stamped and then stencilled the same way and the sub sentiment too from same stamp set using Versafine Onyx black ink.
  • Took the cairo cream top fold cardbase and scored few lines using a scoring board as shown.
  • Then the stamped, stencilled panel is mounted using foam adhesives as shown.
  • Added few enamel dots as accents to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!
