Delicate Dahlias
August 20, 2021
It is time for a new Festive Friday Challenge. What is the Festive Friday Challenge? The Festive Friday Challenge is a bi-weekly challenge that has an Inspo List which is inspired by a festivity. There are always 10 items on the Inspo List and to play along with the challenge you need to use 3 items from the list on your project.
Here is the Inspo List.
Here's my card for the challenge.
I used a stencil from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. I used Blending Brushes and started with Daffodil Delight ink, then Coastal Cabana, and lastly Pear Pizzazz. Once the blending was done I used a Water Painter and watered down some Tuxedo Black Memento ink and tapped the Water Painter to get the splatters. This seems to be my current favorite thing.
I stamped the dahlia on Basic White CS in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and used Blending Brushes to color in the flower. I stamped 2 leaves and used a Blending Brush to color them. I fussy cut the flowers and leaves which was a little tedious but not difficult. The dahlia is mounted on a Basic White Stitched Rectangle and then layered on Basic Black CS. The ribbon is the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. In the center of the dahlia is a Matte Black Dot.
Let's see how I did. I used a stencil for the background. I have layers on my card. I used ribbon. I am also claiming ink spots. Ink splatters are spots, right?

Splatters are DEFINITELY ink spots! I love your card, Sharon. What a gorgeous background. I love that wonderful flower on center stage. Your color choices are fabulous. I love the detail of that little black bow, and of course, your signature inside stamping is always a favorite of mine.

Beautiful, Sharon! I LOVE the colors. Your stenciling is fabulous, and provides a gorgeous backdrop for the flowers. The bow and the spatters are the perfect accents. Have a wonderful week!
