Hi Everyone my DT make today is for the mid month post for
This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Avril
I have absolutely no mojo, so went through my stamps and dies and found these, then went looking for paper and a stencil. All found pretty quickly, actually.
Then it was stamping the flowers and die cutting both the flowers and the stem. I wondered for a while about the design, and even stamped more flowers, but it just didn't look right, so I left it simple.
I chose the colours of the flowers to match the paper and coloured them in DI's. Next I stencilled a brick effect, for the climbing flowers. I cut the paper and layered the stencilling and floral pattern onto plain purple paper, not usually my colours, but I have been looking at them more.
I then went looking for a sentiment and forgotten I had bought a stamp set with a floral theme, whew! It was stamped and die cut and layered onto the purple paper. All were added to the base card.

A lovely floral card. You would never know your mojo was lacking. Great sentiment for the card too. xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty and love the white brickwork.
ReplyDeleteA lovely soft and delicate feel to the pretty blossoms Faith. The recent weather has sent mojos dashing away for lots of us I think.

ReplyDeleteLike the card Faith. The artist is always the harshest critic of their work. I think most of us have lost our mojo at the moment, so you're in with the gang. Take care. WakeyL

I am sorry to hear that you are still struggling with no mojo, but despite that your card turned out beautifully. I love the soft floral frame and the equally soft stencilled wall. The sentiment is lovely too. I am glad you remembered it xx

ReplyDeleteSeeing how your climbing flowers and soft brick stenciling blend so well with the purple tones, I enjoy the gentle layout, the thoughtful sentiment, and the beautifully coordinated floral accents.
