With Love (Color Dare 591)

 

Thank you for stopping my to see my card for Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #591. The color board is below and demonstrates that this challenge requires the use of the colors black and white with the addition of only one color. I chose an orange color. I originally planned to use a soft peach but decided to use a stronger color.


The image was stamped onto white cardstock, partially fussy cut then placed onto a panel of black cardstock. The sentiment was then stamped. The ink was brushed onto the flowers and sentiment. This was adhered to a white card base. The ink was also brushed onto white scraps to create the striped elements.

The inside was stamped with another sentiment and a smaller flower that coordinates with the larger image on the front. This was also brushed with ink.

Because this is a large image, the card was created using an A6 size so that the image would not appear crowded.

Enjoy!
Melanie

  1. Love the way you fussy-cut the floral as a border against the black background adding the touch of color in the floral and sentiment... very pretty card.

  2. The inked centres of the flowers add such a pretty touch and keeps the florals from being overwhelming - beautiful card :)

  3. That cut out on the right border is wonderful and creative. Adding your touch of color to the flower centers and on the sentiment was the perfect touch.

  5. This is so lovely! I always love inspiration showing very little coloring (since I'm not too good at it). And especially with flower images like this (flowers can be so hard to color IMO). Beautifully designed, Melanie.
