I am so loving using the blending brushes so I took them out and blended some Crushed curry and Old Olive.
Once I had enough colour I added it to the Old Olive card base and then stamped the flowers from the Flowing Flowers stamp set. I Used the Stamparatus and stamped the large flower once with the Crushed curry ink pad. I then inked up the smaller flower with leaves with the Stampin' Write markers Old Olive and Crushed Curry, I stamped and inked multiple times to get a darker colour so that you you have different shades of Crushed curry on the card from the blended background to the front flower!
I fussy cut the flowers out and for the little splash of gold I used the shimmery gold Ribbon that I have pulled apart to give that wispy look behind the flowers which I have popped up on dimensionals. I just love this sentiment that comes with this stamp set so I thought I would stamp it in Smokey Slate. In the new mini there are these gorgeous brushed brass butterflies and I love butterflies so I had to add them to my card.
I hope you enjoyed the card and the little masking technique. Now is the time to head to the next person which is my lovely friend Tina Gillespie, I always get excited to see what she has for us each week. Last week she made a gorgeous lacy Ombre Night of Navy card I can't wait to see what she has for us today! Just click on the next button to go straight there.
