It's my turn to set the challenge at Daring Cardmakers and as it’s the first Friday of the month it is, as always, an “elemental” challenge — just chose at least three elements from the inspiration picture to kick start your project.
I chose teal tones (although it looks more blue toned on the photo), the daisy from the packaging, knitted stitch pattern and circles (inspired by the buttons and the circle on the box).
I started by smooshing ink onto the card with a piece of acetate then when it was dry I added circles using a couple of lids as stamps. I have an embossing folder with a nice knit pattern but I didn’t want to emboss the card so I embossed a piece of fun foam and used it as a texture stamp. The die cut daisy has a bit of watercolour added and the head is raised with some scraps of card.
Supplies:
Wildflower Stems 1 dies (Tim Holtz/Sizzix)
Adirondack dye ink by Ranger (Stream)
Versafine by Tsukineko (Onyx Black)
Sentiment from Putting in the Ritz (Waltzingmouse Stamps, no longer with us)
Watercolours by Winsor & Newton
Knitted 3D embossing folder (Sizzix)

Thanks for stopping by!
This is beautiful, Joanne. You had me at 'teal', but I love the daisy and the lay out too, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for that smooshing tip! Using acetate would allow one to see pretty well what is happening! :D Plus a DIY for making a temp stamp for a partial texture.
ReplyDeleteTeal or aqua (what I see) it is a pretty card.
Hugs Margot
This has turned out beautifully. Love your smooshing and a great idea with the embossing folder. Your daisy has brilliant dimension too xx
