Another day, another project - I do like this being on holidays gig, I get to do lots of mid week crafting!
Todays card is inspired by the colour challenge at Fab Friday, when I saw it my thoughts went to cornflower blue and yellow flowers, then all that was left was to decide which floral stamp set to use.
I decided on the Bloom & Grow set as it already has "clusters" of flowers, so perfect for what I had in mind. After stamping the image I quickly added clear embossing power and then heat set - this creates a border for watercolouring, which was my plan as I wanted to tone down Bumblebee for my design.
After colouring and die cutting, all that was left was the sentiment, stamped in Gray Granite then cut with stitched shapes and framed with a scalloped oval, I added a little Champagne Shimmer paint to the flowers, and adhered to the card front.
There you have it, a lovely feminine card and not a hint of pink anywhere on the card!
