Color Fusers Blog Hop | February 2022

Hello crafters, I am super excited to share with you today that I have joined the Color Fusers Design Team! This month, our colors include Misty Moonlight, Pool Party and Calypso Coral. Misty Moonlight is a colour that I've not used much, and that my fiends is the the beauty of a Colour Challenge.

I was  bit thrown wit these colours, so I decided a floral image for my project and created and a variation of a recently discovered technique that I am absolutely loving - freehand frames.

The Hand-penned Petals stamp set looks simply amazing with a hand drawn frame, unlike previous cards I've done using this technique I positioned the image towards the bottom of the card rather than the centre.

For some colour variation of the flowers I stamped off on scrap paper once before inking up the larger flower images, with no stamping off for the smaller flowers or leaves. Next I drew the inner frame using a ruler (measuring in an equal distance from each side of the card), then proceeded with the freehand lines on the edge; I did find the longer lines a little more difficult to do, but all in all I love the finished lines.

I carefully mask the top edges of the frame and applied Misty Moonlight with a Blending Brush. All that was left to do was add a sentiment and some bling with Basic Rhinestone Gems..... but then I thought I think some "roughed up edges" would compliment the frame, my daughter agreed, and that was it, project finished!
