COREOPSIS

TicTacToeChallenge #288 is up today and I'm here with a monochromatic card.  I chose to go down the right side with spatter, die cuts and embellishments.

I used Altenew's coreopsis dies cut out in white and inked with their nimbus ink.  The base cardstock is also in nimbus.  I spattered the background with some white acrylic paint.  The center of the flower is filled with Altenew's tiny sequins and then I added a few larger ones around the sentiment.

 I am also entering my card at SimonSaysStamp's IG challenge (#SSSIGChallenge) where the theme this month is monochromatic.

Our challenge runs from March 12 - 26 - plenty of time to create with this board!  So please join us!

TULIPS

My creativity fairy has been on vacation and so I'm trying to lure her back by entering some challenges.  My card today was inspired by the colors in CAS Colors and Sketches (yellow, navy and apple green) and the theme at Die Cut Divas (spring).

After die cutting all the tulip parts from white cs, I used DO to color them.  I die cut a pocket and embossed it with a brick folder - then swiped navy DO to show off the texture a bit more.  Added a navy background to a white card base and then finally arranged my bouquet.  I didn't have any yellow ribbon so made my own by swiping yellow ink onto some seam binding.
