I’m back with a card for another challenge—this time The Card Concept: Rustic Blooms.
These beautiful pink flowers reminded me of the Simon Says “Floral Bliss” bouquet I used not long ago. This time I watercolored the whole image in pinks and reds.
When I finished, I decided to add a few dark pink splatters. I’ve been known to ruin an entire card trying this technique, but this time I pulled it off. I die cut the Tim Holtz watercolor panel with Simon Says “Stitched Rectangle,” and adhered it to a Raspberry Fizz card (PTI).
The sentiment is from Papertrey’s “It’s the Thought.” Finally, a few white pearls finished it off.
One of the challenges in entering a card at The Card Concept is deciding which category the card falls in. Nine out of ten times my cards usually land in the “Clean and Simple” category. Not so much this time. I’m guessing the best bet is “Classy and Elegant.” If you have time to check them out, I’d love to know how you’d categorize this one.
given the options, I’d say you are right. It fell out of clean and layered with the splatters…and the colors are so rich!
It is just lovely – so vibrant! And beautifully set against the weathered wood, just like the challenge photo … neat!
I agree you made the right category choice. The card is lovely…the pink is inviting and will brighten anyone’s mantel or desk. Might there be a challenge for everyday of a year?
Cheers~
Very pretty, & yes very elegant & classy. Paint splattering! Oh my this is a technique for the brave.
