Stef is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has asked us to make a card using Melon Mambo, Grapefruit Grove and Blushing Bride. The dessert option is flowers.
I don't know how many flower stamps one person needs; but I seem to have so many of them, it was hard to choose which image to use. I pulled out this set from about a year ago, and used this stamp for the first time. I stamped on hot press watercolor paper (because it's smooth) with Antique Linen Distress Ink for a no-line watercolor effect. Then I colored the flowers with brush markers. I tried to select the main colors to match this week's colors, using a combination of the pinks for the brighter flower, and the light pink and grapefruit color for the pastel flower. I also used a variety of neutrals in this image, Mossy Meadow-ish for the greenery, and some browns for the flower pot.
I'm pleased with this card, which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "I'm an artist. I can't draw, so I stamp!""
Before I go, I'd like to wish everyone good health and encourage everyone who can do so to stay home and be safe. We're all going through a tough time right now, and I hope making cards and other projects will help us all stay engaged and happy.
