Here is another card using my new set of flower dies ......
Background was handmade using the 'ink splatter/splotch' technique.
'Thinking of you' sentiment cut twice and layered together for dimension.
The coneflower layers were diecut from spare offcuts (snippets) of white cardstock (I always knew those smaller pieces would come in handy), then ink blended using Altenew inks.
My selection of colours may have been influenced by the photo in the Beautiful Blossoms Mood board!
A very simple layout, which for me anyway, makes the flower shine :)
Linking with the following challenges:

Very pretty!! Your splattered background is fabulous and it shows off that beautiful flower perfectly! Thanks for playing with Cut It Up Challenge.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I am so happy to read that you use those snippets! I am forever reaching into my 'recycle' bucket for useable pieces! That coneflower is one of my favorites and I love the gorgeous shades of orange you've used to color it!
