The August challenge is on at The Flower Challenge and it's a lovely one, we're asking you to 'Add Sparkle'! Our Guest Designer is the fabulous Darnell Knauss.
I used a gorgeous stamp by Uniko, this is called Pure Florals: Peony. I heat embossed it with sparkly gold embossing powder before watercolouring the image. I wanted to keep the card simple so I only added the sentiment ('Warmest congratulations') before matting the panel onto pink cardstock and then to the card base.
Here's an angled view to show the sparkle.
Please do pop by The Flower Challenge blog to see all the inspiration created for you by my team mates and our Guest Designer. And please do join us with your sparkly floral creation!
I'm entering my card to the following challenge:
Elokuun haaste The Flower Challengessä on alkamassa ja teemana on 'Add Sparkle'. Guest Designerina on Darnell Knauss.
Käytin korttiini Unikon Pure Florals: Peony -leimaa, jonka embossasin kimaltelevan kultaisella jauheella ja väritin vesiväreillä. Halusin pitää kortin yksinkertaisena, joten leimasin vain tekstin ja kerrostin paneelin pinkille kartongille ja sitten korttipohjaan.
The Flower Challenge -blogista löytyy inspiraatiota pilvin pimein, kannattaa käydä kurkkaamassa ja samalla osallistua haasteeseen!
Embossing your bloom in the gold e/p was a great idea to add schparkle to the design, Milla! Your petals and leaves are painted perfectly and I love the blue wash background and simple matting! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell
