A quick post to enter a card in the Just Us Girls current challenge: Script. Many of my favorite fonts are script, but my newest sentiment set from The Ton combines print with a lovely script that you can highlight thanks for The Ton’s innovative “grouped layering” stamps. You won’t be surprised to see another Altenew Coneflower, either. (There’s still one more to come.)
This is one of the coneflowers I watercolored, using my Daniel Smith watercolors. The card base was created with a piece of cardstock that had already been cut. Sadly, I can’t find a match for it anywhere in my cardstock collection so I can’t tell you where it came from nor can I order any more of it! It’s a little brighter than most of the magenta cardstock I own.
I do like these sentiments from The Ton, Easy Expressions: Birthday, and recently ordered “Easy Expressions,” which includes sentiments for many other occasions. I added a thin gold mat and three gold embellishments to finish the card.
I’m also entering this in the Happy Little Stampers: Watercolor challenge for July which is “Anything Goes.”
What a lovely card! I adore the deep purple color, and the coneflower, of course looks wonderful! Thank you so much for joining us at the HLS Watercolor challenge with this CAS beauty!
The purple & black are very stunning together & that pop of green in the flower centre is eye catching.
Simply stunning Karen. Love the purple tones and that gold mat and gems make it a beautiful card. Thanks for adding to our JUGS Gallery for our Script Challenge with that awesome sentiment die.
What a beautiful purple to make your coneflower pop! Adding the gold mat and sentiment finished it well.
So stunning on the black with gold and magenta borders, Karen. I love those The Ton stamps too. So easy to have a bunch ready when you want them. I’ll have to look into the other set. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls
The lovely cornflower and sentiment really pop against the black panel. The bits of gold really make your card elegant, almost regal. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Watercolour Challenge.
