Congratulations!

Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!

I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper!

LIST: Colours (white, black, orange, pink, green), Techniques (stamping), Elements (3 strips of coloured flowers, black horizontal strip, 3 embellishments, thinking of you sentiment top left, square card)

INCLUDE: colours, horizontal stripes of 'flowers', black horizontal strip

MODIFY: combined stamped sentiment with black strip, die cut instead of stamped, and 2 stripes of each colour

EXCLUDE: 

SPIN: die cut inlay, combined embellishments

These 3 stripes of flowers made me think immediately of this geometric coverplate from Catherine Pooler. 

I blended a panel with stripes of ink, (2 of each colour), using a lighter tone at the top, and a deeper tone at the bottom for a gradient look. I splattered it with water and gold watercolour and then  I cut it with the cover plate, creating all the little 'petals' to inlay into the white die cut.

I chose a very simple sentiment from Lawn Fawn and heat embossed it onto a black strip of cardstock.
