So much for that creative roll I was riding! That came to a screaming halt while we endured a 2 week heat wave that not only saw daytime temperatures soar but nights as well. Days are still very hot but at least we now have more pleasant overnight temperatures & sleep is not so elusive. Unfortunately I missed the deadline for some challenges but it was simply to stifling to achieve anything!
Today I am sharing a card using Concord & 9th Brushed Blossoms. I've had this a while now & thought it was time I actually gave it a try! I love the sentiments in this set as well as the gorgeous layered flowers. There is only 2 layers to these flowers & they are very easy to line up.
I used Altenew inks for the main flowers, leaves & coordinating Ranger Adirondack for the stamens. It's a bit hard to see in the photo but I used a soft blue ink to stamp spatters (from the set) around the flowers & then finished with some PPP Sunshine Glow sequins.
I am entering this into the following challenges -
The Flower Challenge # 4 Blue & Yellow
Darnell's NBUS Challenge # 9
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.
Absolutely gorgeous! LOVE it!

ReplyDeleteThose are really beautiful layered flowers, Rose. I feel for you with those hot temps overnight. We've had about a week of not getting above freezing ;)
ReplyDeleteStunning flowers, Rose. I love blue and yellow together - it's a very happy combination in my world. Hope your weather cools down a bit for you and you can continue on crafting. Love that sentiment, and those sequins and spatters are perfect! Simply lovely!! Bev
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Rose ... there's a lovely subtle softness about these gorgeous blooms, perfectly complemented by the tiny stamped splatters. Hope it stays night time cool for you ... still freezing and blue here! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing out the splatters so I could go in for a closer look! Great idea to add them to your really gorgeous card, Rose! I'm afraid you might have pushed my enable button as the thought of a flower this pretty that only has two layers is very appealing! This is a winner for the blue and yellow challenge, I bet! I'm glad you are cooling down a bit so your mojo can start flowing again - may the days cool off soon, too! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #9 and thank you for your kind get well wishes! Hugs, Darnell
