This is this week's challenge over at Global Design Project #gdp227
I thought rather than just do flowers I would add some fruit also and went to my retired SU set Fresh Fruit for inspiration. I used a background stamp set from another retired set Build a Bouquet for the dots and used Pear Pizazz and Crushed Curry. I used Old Olive and Pear Pizazz for the pear and Chocolate Chip and Soft Suede for the leaves. The peach was inked with Tangerine Tango and some Wink of Stella applied over to make it shine. I used the same colours of green and yellow for the flowers and added some small yellow pearls and a few sequins.
Welcome back to another year of challenges with Hand Stamped Sentiments - our first one for 2020 is a colour challenge:
I've used some new Tim Holtz Sizzix dies for the flowers on my card. I layered them onto some of the gorgeous SU DSP Perennial Essence - I have had it a while and just couldn't bear to cut it - you know how it is. Once you cut into it initially you soon get over the trauma and enjoy using it! lol! I used the same paper to cut out the flowers and leaves. The Friends sentiment is from SU Waterfront - the Happy Birthday is from a retired set Fresh Fruit. I added a few sequins just to finish it off.
I look forward to seeing what you all do and whether you are using new crafting goodies you got for Christmas
Our Sketch challenge today at Try Stampin on Tuesday #438 has the added option of Birthday Fun in honour of Kaylin who runs this blog and it's her birthday in December. I added the birthday option just to have a break from cards - and also so it can be sent off to a certain someone for her birthday!
I used a couple of retired SU sets for this - the background used Timeless Textures and the sun burst from Amazing You. The fruit is from Fresh Fruit. I then added washi tape on top of the stamping. I stamped the pears in More Mustard and Tangerine Tango and went over them with a Spectrum Noir glitter pen in Harvest Moon.
