The next SAF challenge I participated in involved the design team each choosing a particular piece of artwork that inspired them to create a card similar to that piece. I decided to mimic a beautiful card by Danielle Flanders. In fact I decided to copy it outright..why mess with perfection right!?!
You can see Danielle's card better on her blog
here. I used the brushed blooms stamp set and the exact colors Danielle did but for some reason I had a hard time blending out that Americana ink..it looked really brown so I kept adding more and more pale peony until I got it mostly blended so as you can see below my card is much darker.
I struggled a little with the background too. I am not good at free form artistic strokes so I played around with this for a while adding ink...water...ink until I got this which looked acceptable to me! I used a sentiment from
Keep It Simple: Encouragement because I wanted to send it to a friend who is undergoing surgery this week.
Thanks for stopping by! Please come back again!
