Ardyth Percy-Robb: IB61 - You're the Best

Monday, 19 June 2017

I love blue flowers - they're so unexpected and somehow they seem to just glow! And while I had my Mondo Hydrangea out for yesterday's card, I made a card for this week's Inspired by All the Little Things:

But, as often happens, I had some trouble making up my mind about which direction to go. I ended up with two other cards as well!

You just know that this one appeals to my CAS, minimal mind. I used a stencil and Distress Inks.

I love this big flower stencil (had it forever and I have no idea who made it - I was thinking it might be Hero Arts, but I can't find it) and I used Distress Inks.

I focused on the flowers and the window.

Three amazing cards, Ardyth! And all so different - thanks so much for joining us this week at Inspired By All The Little Things!

You nailed all three cards! Love the first one the most. I always think I'm making a mistake if I colour a flower in a shade of blue, but if it has a mauve tone it's found in nature.
