Bouquet Card ~ Color Dare Challenge #543

 You know what Friday means! A new color challenge from the Design Team at Color My Heart. This challenge is simple....or is it a bit hard? You tell us. Sometimes the simple appearing challenge turns out to be....well....a challenge! So stretch your comfort zone and give this one a try!  When you're ready to join our challenge click here for the direct link to #543.

For me this was simple in that the design idea came quickly and I was able to create what I saw in my mind. I love it when that happens! Some of the details developed while I created and I think that is fun! How do you create? All at once? As you go along? 

Using our new Bouquet Stamp set (link below) I stamped in Exclusive Inks Intense Black. I knew I'd be coloring with a marker and wanted a non-bleeding ink. The TriBlend Marker used is Dark Red Blend. There are 3 shades of the color in the barrel. I used all three to color and shade my flowers.  The sentiment is from our April Stamp of the Month: Sweet Tweets.


The Glitter paper layers ( Black, Scarlet ) are glued together with Liquid Tombow Glue. The flower layer is popped up a bit with Thin Foam Tape. Once the image was glued to the card I trimmed off the excess hanging over the edge.  For more dimension the flower centers were filled with dots of Glitter Glue (Black Diamond). The lines were doodled with a Journal Pen to give a nice finished edge to the card front.

  5. Using that glitter really creates an amazing edging that looks so 3D. Love the flower off the edge. I hardly ever do that but it looks so effective I really should let my stuff hang over!
