I know - you're wondering if you're in the right place! Yes, it's me, Ms Black and White with a Rainbow, trying my hand at something completely different. It's still pretty graphic but in a prettier way than my normal style.
I was inspired by this photo on Pinterest:
What attracted me to this photo was the two colours of grey and the two shades of red. I have 3 matching flowers in different sizes from the Stamps of Life. I placed all 3 on my acrylic block and stamped in Poppy and then in Coral, placing them so they look 'random'. I then added the Waltzingmouse leaves in Sand and Whisper. I used a Stampin' Up sentiment and finished it off with some little pearls. And I barely finished it before it was sold, so I guess it's good to branch out once in a while!
This is such a simple sketch but so beautiful with its color and pearls. I love it!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! The gorgeous little flowers look so lovely with the pearl centres.
ReplyDeleteThe grey is stunning with these colors! Isn't grey the new black? (according to those that are up to date with fashion trends!)

Love the bold sentiment too!
