Beautiful Pastel Blooms

Hey!

I was about to say Happy Friday as I seem to be a day ahead of myself, a little wishful thinking too maybe - Haha! Anyway, Happy Thursday, I hope you're all having a good week? It's all GO and good in the studio and time seems to be zooming by. I did however find a little inky time this afternoon to create this card...




I saw the new CAS - Colours & Sketches Blog challenge seen HERE and below and the new The Play Date Cafe challenge colours HERE and below and instantly reached for Beautiful Blooms I stamp set. I just LOVE inking up this bloom and it looks beautiful in these colours, don't you think? 






I created a mask and stamped the bloom along the edge to create a nice layered effect and then I stamped the bloom on a separate piece of card stock in pink and fussy cut it out, which is therapy for me! Ok, so dies are needed as it would speed the process up a little and everyone loves a coordinating die - watch this space!




I decided that a black sentiment would be a bit harsh for this card so decided to use SU! Going Grey instead and I also used it for the leaves of the bloom. A little bit of glitter and depth by adhering the bloom using foam adhesive and I was done! 

Ok, I think that is all from me tonight, I'll be back tomorrow however with more to share! Until then, thank you for stopping by today.


Supplies
Card Stock: White from stash
Ink: SU! Orchid Opulence, Regal Rose & Going Grey. PTI Raspberry Fizz
Accessories: Hero Arts Prisma Glitter & Foam Adhesive.

    The soft colors are so pretty! I agree with you that sometimes gray is a better color choice than black. You've used it wisely here. The glitter adds just the right amount of sparkle to your card. Thanks for sharing it in this week's challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches! :)
