Have a Beautiful Day: Floral Challenge

July 29, 2021 - by Natasha Vacca

Have a Beautiful Day: Floral Challenge

Hi friends!  It is Natasha and I am super excited to be back with you today!  I can’t believe we are at the end of July already!  I hope you are having a wonderful summer!  I have enjoyed our floral challenge this month and I hope you have too!  I have loved seeing all your gorgeous cards over on the Unity {show & tell} facebook group!  We still have a few days left!  For today’s card I am using 2 stamp sets from Unity:  June Rose and In My Thoughts, Girl.  I love both kits and have been excited to color these!

I started by stamping the leaves onto Neenah card stock using an alcohol friendly ink.  Next I created a mask for the single leaf, placed this on top of the leaf, and stamped the rose image.  I also stamped a single rose on an extra sheet of paper.  Next I added some light ink blending around the rose and leaves using Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.  I wanted to create a soft blend around the floral images.

Next I started to work on my coloring.  For today’s coloring I am using Tombow alcohol markers.  I worked in sections of the rose, doing one petal at a time.  I work from darkest to lightest when using alcohol markers.  I am still learning, but truly enjoyed the process, as I love this gorgeous rose!  Once my coloring was complete I did cut the single rose.  I then stamped the sentiment from the In My Thoughts, Girl set.  I trimmed the panel using a rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs.  I adhered the panel to my card base.  I popped up the single rose with foam tape and added a few sequins to complete today’s card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I can’t wait to see more of your florals!  Be sure to share them with us over on the Unity {show & tell} facebook group!  I will be back next week with an all new challenge theme for August!  I am excited!
