PAINTED FLOWER CARD/TAG

In between doing several loads of laundry today, I had a little play time and decided to enter a few challenges - something I haven't done in ages.  Every week I bookmark challenges but then never seem to do anything about it.  Have never entered Tag You're It challenge so used the design of their tag inspiration.  Love the colors and striped wallpaper in the Card Concept photo inspiration  - the category I'm entering is "Clean and Layered".   Lastly, Virginia's View Challenge this month is layering and dimensions.


I first stamped the flower outline from Altenew's Painted Flowers onto Canson watercolor paper and then colored with Ranger picked raspberry and peeled paint distress inks - when dry I fussy cut them. I die cut the tags using MFT's stitched tags in charcoal cs and PTI patterned velllum.  The sentiment from HA's Messages with a Flourish was stamped on vellum with Versamark and embossed with HA silver.  Added a little grey and white twine to my tag and then mounted it all on charcoal cs.  As a last minute thought, added a little Wink of Stella to the flower centers.

Thanks for stopping by today and always enjoy reading your kind comments.  Betty

    If this is what happens when you do laundry, you should bust out the laundry soap more often. It's GORGEOUS! Love that bright pop of pink against the gray!

    Firstly, I have to say your card is absolutely stunning! The flowers are just beautiful, I love how you placed your tag, and the subtle striped pattern is perfect! You have an 'elegant hand' and it's always fun to visit your blog to see what you've created :) Great job combining all three challenges, too...WTG!

    Hey Betty...glad to hear that I'm not the only one who 'bookmarks' challenges...only to delete them the following week because I didn't have time to craft! Glad that you found time for our current CCC challenge because your card is fabulous!!! The distress ink flowers and leaves are beautiful and so perfectly blended! Thanks so much for choosing to share your card with us at the Card Concept Challenge :)
