Hi Stampers!
This card
was created for the Power Poppy August Power & Spark "Shabby & Chic" Challenge along with
the FabFri71 Color Challenge and Joanne's PP259 Sketch Challenge at The Paper Players.
Hopefully
you will have a chance to visit the above mentioned challenge sites- there are so many
wonderful Design Teams samples and entries!
In an effort to spend more time creating, I will not list the step by step details of this card- it is fairly easy to create (but a bit time consuming :-))
This card
utilizes watercolor techniques with Stampin’ Write markers (scribbled onto a craft mat or acrylic block and painted with a water brush) for the blossoms, direct marker for the leaves, shadow from a "goof" on the focal image circle (this step could be omitted- lol!), fussy-cutting for the focal image, Banners created with punches and dry embossing, a backgground stamp, distressing for the edges and a stitched circle die along with Pearls to finish off the card.

Julie, this is so gorgeous and vibrant! I love the coloring you've chosen for these flowers, and your combination of textures is so eye-catching... Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen these colors put together as creatively and as beautifully as you've done. Sometime in the future, I plan on giving this combination a try. Thanks for sharing it with me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always! Great coloring and it's very eclectic and chic looking while being vintage at the same time. I wouldn't have seen these colors as vintage but it works! Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!

ReplyDeleteOh my, Julie! The way you've incorporated the colors into your design is amazing. I never would have been inspired to make flowers from them but you've rocked it! The touch of Blackberry Bliss is just gorgeous and all the layers and grunge are just shabbilicious! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!
