Freshly Made Sketches #729

When there is a sketch as basic as the one at Freshly Made Sketches, it can be difficult to make a decision on which way to go with your card. I decided to go simple.

I don't know why the vellum looks wrinkly and the sentiment looks crooked because they aren't in real life. 😡  My flower is Lilacs from The Greetery.  I made panels of purple and green using Distress Spray Stains.  I don't use them often enough and thought it was time to give them a workout.  The background is the same Waffle Flower Rhombus cover plate that I used yesterday, minus the die cut overlay.

The Flower Challenge #107

It's time for another The Flower Challenge and we have a specific color we want you to use.

Purple is the color of so many flowers although as artists we can make any flower any color.  I went with the traditional Lilacs.

These are from The Greetery and are cut from cardstock that was sprayed with Villainous Potion Distress Spray.  A double set of blossoms were cut to give it fullness.  The gray frame is from Penny Black and the sentiment is a BetterPress from SB.  

The Design Team will WOW  you with their purple designs.  Please check them out for inspiration.

Inkspirational #335 and NBUS #71

Inkspirational has a beautiful mood board for challenge #335.

I saw hyacinths but since I don't have any I thought lilacs would work as well so that's the direction I took.  It's the first time using that die so my card is also going over to NBUS. 

The lilacs are from The Greetery, cut from white PTI cardstock and colored with Altenew inks.  The background is The Greetery's Shiplap Builder.  I've had it in my Bits box for quite a while after trying a technique I saw Betsy do on You Tube.  I can't remember exactly how I did it so I'm glad I have the video saved to try it again.  You may want to try it too. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great day!
