I was so inspired by Lizzie Jones card sample for the Above and Below Challenge on the PTI blog post for Monday! My attempt was not successful IMO as I covered up too much of the sentiment strip by overlaying the florals instead of tucking them underneath. I am definitely planning a redo! I also didn't add the shading of the florals as Lizzie demonstrates in her video on the blog post. You will want to check out how she accomplishes this amazing detail here: https://blog.papertreyink.com/2018/0...2-above-below/ I'm also entering this into the Paper Players Challenge which is to create a CAS design with blooms.
To add an element of texture, I stenciled the background lightly with Parakeet dye ink using Tim Holtz' Dot Fade stencil. Even my ink choices were an epic fail - lol! My yellow and orange colors (Bumblebee and Tangerine) were too close to the same shade and my pink (Magenta) ending up being darker than I wanted. Oy. Live and learn!
