This week's card challenge is a template design by Patti MacLeith. The nice thing about the PPA challenges? Your cards don't have to be exactly like the template. They just have to be inspired by it!I bought the "penned and painted" set from Stampin Up and I really wanted to use it. I thought this template could serve as an inspiration for my flowers.
TIP: Give a "natural" look to your stamped flowers by making each one a little different. Even though they are in a row, each blossom is rotated differently. Since this is a photopolymer stamp set, I bent the stem a little differently before I stamped each stem. Finally, I made sure the leaves were all on different levels.
Once my card was stamped, I felt like it was missing something. I decided to take out my Petite Petals stamp set and punch. I stuck some dimensionals on the back of them and used them to decorate my flower centers.
The card on the left was before I added the petite petal centers. It's good; but I like the finishing touches given to card on the right.
Here is a list of materials I used to create these cards. Click through to go to my online store. If you have any questions, just ask! If you don't currently have a Stampin Up Demonstrator, I would love to connect with you!
Keep Learning, Keep Growing, Keep Sharing,
Lovely cards. I also love your floral color chart! Thank you for using our sketch this week!
