So happy to have you with us this month!
AND
it's my Birth Month - hence I chose the Word
CELEBRATE! as I am Hosting this week.
This card was made a few months ago
for my Sister's Birthday.
I have seen so many gorgeous cards on Pinterest
with this die - MB Perky Poppy and I knew I wanted
to try it out.
I started with inking my craft mat with
Tim's Oxide Inks in Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves
on to glossy card stock. Of course I had to have purple tones.
Continued layering and drying
then buffed with paper towel and added Tim's Distress Glaze.
I first cut the poppy out with black card stock and then
again with the three different colours above
to get the ombre effect.
Added a mat behind it in purple
then adhered to Linen card stock.
The 'Celebrate' die is from CUTplorations
cut from leftovers from the flowers.
Finished off with a few purple gems.
Love the fab image,beautifully coloured.xxx

ReplyDeleteAmazing colors and design! Love everything about this card! Great challenge theme too!
ReplyDeleteYes to those lovely purple tones, Ina! Gorgeous card; especially the long-and-lean format; one I've never tried (largely due to challenges in cutting my cardstock straight *grin*). I know your sister adores this, as do I!

Beautiful card, it's so vibrant and the colour blends look amazing layered onto white with the purple mat. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a kind comment, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness x
ReplyDeleteI thought this was alcohol ink at first glance, Ina. The colors blend so beautifully and layering the poppies was a great way to fill the tall card.
