This card was inspired by this post by Vicky Hayes. Vicky is a UK Stampin' Up demo who uses SU! products in fun and unexpected ways - I'm always inspired when I visit her blog.
This time I was inspired by Vicky's use of Painted Petals to build a box. The blossoms are shown without the leaves, and have pops of orangey-yellow. Turns out it's DP, not stamping, but I knew that the look could easily be replicated with the coordinating stamp set.
I used Blackberry Bliss ink and cardstock, and one of the sentiments from the set. To introduce the yellow and a graphic element, I masked and sponged the end of my sentiment strip in Adirondack Summer Sunshine.
Oh so pretty!!!! LOve it!
ReplyDeleteI am honoured to have inspired you even a little my friend! That bold yellow strip on the sentiment gives your card a lovely contemporary twist! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteThat paper has been so popular! lol You did a great job of reproducing it with the stamps Ardyth! I love your frame!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSorry, I mean I love your card! lol It's this thing called age. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSo pretty in this dark purple with the dollop of yellow!
ReplyDeleteA real BEAUTY Ardyth, love it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...just so beautiful Ardyth.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely Ardyth! I love the pop of yellow and a great sentiment strip. You have inspired me to ink up this set AND to use some Blackberry Bliss!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I've been trying not to buy this set because I have soooo many florals, but it's pretty darn cute. I may get sucked in yet!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Ardyth ... a perfect combination of bold colour and soft, pretty images! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteCompletely stopped me in my tracks. I. LOVE. THIS. That yellow is just, hello, amazing!! And blackberry flowers ... such a nice treat from pinks and reds. The purple/yellow combo on the color wheel is never as popular as its green/red or blue/orange cousins, but it's hard to imagine anything looking better in this case!
