And hello Spring! Some flowers are blooming now and others are getting there as the first day of Spring officially arrives. This is a sneak peak of a fabulous Floral release scheduled for next Wednesday (3/2/25) and we will have a hop over on IG (instagram) you won’t want to miss! My bright floral card is not at all hard to make & the bright colors really pop against the black of the background.
For the Inspiration Challenge IC1007, we are visiting Dutch Bulbs & their Pinterest Board. THIS picture of bright flowers was my inspiration. I took the plastic sheet the stamps come on & used the printed image to put on top of various backgrounds to see what would look good against the black. I came across a little square w/ bright colors brayered onto it. It wasn’t big enough, so I got the rainbow pads I’m pretty sure I used, & made a larger background. Then I positioned the image around to see what I liked best, put the image & the background into my Misti & stamped it several times w/ the Versaclair nocturne to get good coverage.
Here is a picture of the brayered background I made. As you can see, it’s not perfect or arranged in any way. It’s just bright colors brayered on in a haphazard manner. No need to get too precise as only the colors will show through.
This is how it looked after I stamped it & die cut it w/ the coordinating die. Using the printed plastic sheet makes it easy to see where to stamp it. Since there was a lot of black ink on it, I used a heat tool to dry it before I die cut it.
The image was layered onto a piece of card board for a little elevation, before adding a peach & narrow black mat behind it. The greeting was stamped, die cut & I also used the greeting die to cut 2 out of black to use as a shadow above & below.
Thanks so much for looking. Hope to see you at the IG Release Hop. (You will be able to find it at @brassandblisscraftco or on my account @julie_justwritedesigns on Instagram, Wed morning 3/26/25.)
