Hello and happy weekend!
A couple of floral cards today, the first is my second take on the April Inspiration challenge over at Altenew. I bought a gel press recently - it's very addictive but I've found that even after creating all these backgrounds I still hanker after white space as you can tell by these cards!

For the card above I used a lighter version of the grey/blue in the inspiration challenge and mixed a couple of dye inks on the gel press to get the right tone, then put the Altenew Beach Towel Stripes over the top of the ink and brayered over the top. I like the subtlety of it, particularly as I'm never quite sure what to do with loud backgrounds!
The bloom is from Nostalgic Florals with matching die and stencil, a sentiment from Sentiment Strips and it's framed with the Fine Frames Cover Die just to satisfy my white space craving!

I'm sure I'll branch out and experiment with brighter colours - watch this space!
Happy stamping!

ReplyDeleteI quite like all of the crisp white surrounding those bright happy colors! These are both beautiful cards, Claire!
Such a lovely filled & framed space on your second card. The subtle details between the blooms really add to the design. Fabulous! Thank you for joining Sunday Stamps this week.
