Hello and welcome to my blog. Today, I have created a card inspired by the colour combination over on The Paper Players challenge this week. The combination of Melon Mambo, Pool Party and Granny Apple Green is bright, vibrant and bold.
These colours make me think of flowers and so I grabbed my Beautiful Friendship stamps and started to work on a small piece of Whisper White card that nests snuggly inside the largest of the rectangular dies from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
I stamped the blossom/hydrangea stamp all over the little white piece to create a background - I used Pool Party ink and stamped off first so that the colour was quite pale. Then, I added large Melon Mambo roses in the centre and a couple of smaller Pool Party ones to fill in the edges. I wanted the leaves to appear in the background, so I used small pieces of PostIt note to mask the petals before applying the inked leaf stamp. My little piece of art was finished off with some splatters from the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen!
The layer of embossed vellum under the framed art tones down the brightness of the Melon Mambo card base to a more muted shade, and don't those flourishes look fabulous?
Why don't yu have a go at making your own little framed art piece. The Stitched So Sweetly dies are just perfect for the job!

Love how you created your art piece and then framed it with all that wonderful texture. Not adding a sentiment was absolutely the right choice as it allows the flowers to really take center stage. Fabulous use of the colors. So glad you joined us at the Players this week

Thank you so much Jaydee. These flowers are really pretty all on their own! Vellum is a lovely product, and when you emboss it there is a bit of a wow! moment.
