I’ve become a fan of the rotating challenges at JUGS: colors, trends, words, photos, and occasionally a wild card week. This week is the photo challenge:
I was inspired by the color of the flowers and the wooden tray and table.
The cluster of flowers on Simon Says “Thankful Flowers” seemed to be a good fit. I stamped them on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and watercolored them with my Daniel Smith watercolors. I decided to fussy cut just around the bottom flower and then carefully cut to the edges with a craft knife. That allowed me to layer the woodgrain paper beneath the flowers.
I added a narrow strip of black cardstock to separate the watercolored flowers from the woodgrain paper.
A sentiment banner from Taylored Expressions “Sentiment Strips” finished it off. I found a bronze metallic envelope from a Simon Says kit which goes well with the card, so the recipient will get a little glitz along with the card.
Take a look at what the Design Team has created at Just Us Girls this week.
You nailed this challenge – I really like the white flowers with the coloured flowers. Your fussy cutting skills are on point (no pun intended).
This is awesome! Love those flowers against the wood grain
So pretty. Love your coloring of the pretty flowers and how you fussy cut around part of the image to layer the woodgrain paper. Perfect take on the photo challenge. TFS
That’s a really lovely card. Pretty, classy and perfect for the challenge!
Very nice! I like how you layered the woodgrain underneath – that’s a great touch!
You really pulled a lot of the photo into your card Karen. Love the richness of the wood with the beauty of your flowers. This card is really lovely!
What a gorgeous card Karen. Beautiful stamp and colouring. Really like how you ‘carefully’ cut the bottom off and showed off the lovely woodgrain. This is a real Beauty!
Love your take on the challenge photo, you really captured it beautifully! Gorgeous!
You ended your time with us with a bang, Karen. The flowers are beautiful and the wood ‘table’ is a great accent. Thanks for being our guest this month.
This is so pretty Karen! I love how you took the extra time to cut the bottom part of the floral cluster. Thanks for being such a great guest this month at Just Us Girls!
