Add Flowers for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #197 on the 5th of July, 2023

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog we have the optional theme of

Add Flowers

I decided to use some of the awesome sunflowers from Power Poppy that I have already printed and cut out a few years ago with my Cameo Silhouette plus some of my stash from La-La Land Crafts.

So here is my card:

As I mentioned above, I have digitally printed Sunflower Power Digital Stamp from Power Poppy on to X-Press It Blending card, cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo and then coloured with Copic inks as follows:

• orange - YR12, YR14, YR16
• yellow - Y13, Y19
• green - YG11, YG23, YG25, YG67
• centre - E13, E25, E33, E08
• blue - BG0000, BG000, BG01
• outline - BG01

I have stamped on to a white card from Envelope Solutions the Hello Lovely Background Stamp from La-La Land Crafts using Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink and the top of my MISTI. Then once that had dried, I stamped two butterflies from Pure Prairie Spirit Clear Stamp Set by the wonderful Marcella at Power Poppy which unfortunately has been discontinued, but there is a digital stamp called Pure Prairie Bouquet. I stamped the butterflies in Bahama Blue and Elderberry Memento ink using my MISTI and then stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink.

Here is a close-up photo of the sunflower after it was coloured:

Here is the layout of the card before I attached the sunflowers:

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and used some inspiration from the cards of the La-La Land Crafts Design Team on the La-La Land Crafts blog and Facebook.
