Beautiful Blossoms March 2023

 

It's March 15th and time for another month of Beautiful Blossoms Challenge entries. Here is our inspiration board and you can easily see I was inspired by the photo in the upper left.

To create this card I used:

1) Strathmore 300 Series 140lb. Cold Press Watercolor Paper;

2) Altenew's Paint-A-Flower: Hydrangea;

3) Ink on 3 Fadeout No-Line Coloring Ink;

4) Daniel Smith Watercolors;

5) Silver Brushes - Black Velvet Size 8;

6) Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Card Stock;

7) Waffle Flower Patched Layers (retired).

I always try and add some of the flower color onto the leaves, sort of as a reflection. It makes it easier for your eye to travel around the image and ties the images together.

A little splatter of the green paint to fill in the background.

I made a second card with all the same products, but not no-line watercoloring. The hydrangea image was stamped with Altenew's Obsidian Black Ink and sprinkled with Altenew's Crisp Clear Embossing Powder while still wet and heat set. 

2 rows of gold washi tape from Altenew to add a little something.

Thank you for joining me and we'd love for you to come join in for March's Challenge!
