Hello inkers,
Always love a good Inspiration Challenge over at Altenew but, oh dear, how I struggled with the colours this month! I love the bouquet in the pic but just found it so difficult to pull the colours together. In fact, my first attempt was completely binned - something I haven't had to do for ages!
I think it was the very soft pink that threw me but I did find a very old SSS ink pad that's barely been used so it was a good starting point along with some neutral gold embossing powder and glitter card. I went with an oldie but a goodie - Peony Bouquet with some leafy foliage from Leaf Clusters. I also added some stencilling with the Beach Towel Stripes Stencil and a sentiment from Elegant Sayings.
Because of the stripes I'm also popping this over to The Flower Challenge where the challenge is to use spots or stripes.
Happy stamping!
Claire
I don't know what your first attempt looked like, but this one is lovely! That little bit of sparkle adds a touch of elegance!
