Happy Tuesday all! Well, I am sad to say that this is my final week as Guest Designer at
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge. I had a lot of fun with these challenges and working with such a talented group of women.
As your
hostess for this week I would like you to create a card or project
that includes some scoring, some piercing (not piecing!) and a coloured image.
This is a perfect challenge for Flourishes beautiful stamp sets. There is nothing I like better than sitting down to colour one of their fabulous images. This week I used one of my new favourite sets
'Bees & Blooms' with a sentiment from another great set
'Picking Wildflowers'.
This was a fun and easy card to make and I love how it turned out. After stamping a portion of the main image from the Bees & Blooms stamp set onto a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of white cardstock, I coloured it with Copic markers. I scored two sets of double lines across the top and stamped the sentiment from Picking Wildflowers in the space. I then stamped the bee image and used a piercing tool to pierce a path from the sentiment to the bee. A thin black cardstock border, some designer paper and three black pearls completed the card.
Be sure to check out what the Design Team has come up with for this
week's challenge and leave them some blog love while you are there:
Supplies: Bees & Blooms, Picking Wildflowers (Flourishes), designer paper, white and black CS, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Copics (see below for collections) plus W5 & Copic .1 Black liner, black pearls, piercing tool & embossing stylus
