different colour poppy background stamping - JAI#489 and CTS#356

I was having so much fun creating backgrounds with my Poppy stamp ( see the card here) that I created another panel using Bermuda Bay. It seemed a good idea to cut it into strips for the sketch challenge at Case This Sketch this week, and I even finally had time to play along with Just Add Ink. - Choosing and Using only 3 colours is quite hard for me. But I settled on Bermuda Bay, Blueberry Bushel (these 2 were easy choices) and then challenged myself with Daffodil Delight.




My dark to light wasn't as obvious once I cut the strips but I think it still works.
The flower is from the Forever Blossoms Set, the blue sprig is from Botanical Tags, and the painted leaf sprays are from the new Birthday Cake thinlits, and of course the gorgeous Butterfly is from Positive Thoughts(new in the mini catalogue now).
Thanks for stopping by today,I enjoyed these challenges.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,

cheers, Liz

    This is gorgeous Liz and I love how you created the vibrant background, it really pops against the whites and adds such drama to your card. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.

    That is such a clever and interesting way to use stamps in a different way. Love this card Liz.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
