There's a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges today and this time it's my chosen theme of Floral - and/or Handmade Flowers as I really love making my own flowers.
My FSC team-mates have really risen to this challenge so do pop over to the catwalk for some totally amazing creations - thanks so much for these ladies!
My own inspiration is a vintage style card with loads of texture and I decided on soft colours too.
The floral background paper is made with Ranger Weathered White embossing powder on top of tan ink and I rubbed some of the powder off before heating for an even more shabby chic effect.
I added this to my card with some coffee coloured shimmer card embossed with the c-Art-us roses folder.
I stamped the lovely June by Scrollswork stamps with Archival coffee ink and coloured her with Promarkers. I cut her out then added to a die cut oval of buff card embossed with a floral folder. I added this to the card with a central lilac border cut with a Martha Stewart punch and decorated with pearls.
I made my layered flower with the Nestabilities carnation die set, cutting flowers from lilac and mauve card to layer up with a metal brad centre and inked the edges with violet for definition.
I finished off with some textured Prima leaves and a die cut Hobby Art sentiment then added a pearly flower to the lady's hat.
You have the next fortnight to enter the challenge and please don't forget that you must include stamping to be eligible for the prize or top 3 and no digital images are allowed.
Have a great day.
Hugs, Fliss xx
