Lilac Blooms
This week’s color challenge was not that easy for me, it included LOVELY LILAC. I hadn’t done a challenge in so long, I thought I would just skip another. I don’t know what changed my mind. I just did it (like ripping of a bandaid).
I love the Pretty Petals background stamp. It is so pretty!
I inked it up with Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Lovely Lilac Markers, sprayed it lightly with water and stamped it on a 3 1/2″ Whisper White cardstock square.
Three of the corners were punched with the ticket corner punch. It was layered on a 3/8″ bigger piece of Lovely Lilac cardstock and paper pierced. Next I added a double photo corner to the unpunched corner on the top right, that was topped with three black brads. I added sparkle over the flowers and butterflies with my Clear Spica Glitter pen. It adds very subtles sparkle, almost like the images you add the glitter to are on Shimmery White cardstock.
The sentiment is from Many Happy Returns. It is stamped in Black Stazon on Whisper White, punched out with the small oval punch and layered first on a 1″ lilac circle, then on a celery Designer Label punchout. I punched a hole with my Crop-A-Dile where the sentiment would be placed and ran Pink Taffeta Ribbon through it. The sentiment was attached with dimensionals.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Certainly Celery cardstock folded in half and toped with a 4″ black square, that had three corners punched with the ticked corner to match the upper layers. Those were attached to the card base with dimensionals.
