Flourishes issued a challenge last week to create a 10 minute card - that's not easy for me. Even when I do clean and simple cards, they rarely take 10 minutes. I'm not letting on how long this took, but it did come together pretty quickly. I combined the Flourishes challenge with Splitcoast's CAS challenge to use the colors coral and kraft plus one other.
The finished card measures 5" x 3.5" - I love this size! The Bleeding Heart silhouette is from Flourishes Spring Ephemerals. I colored directly onto the stamp with markers, spritzed with water and stamped onto watercolor paper. The image looked a little flat, so I hightlighted with Spiced Cider Blingz.
The sentiment is from Stamp Camp - a new company to me. I bought some of their stamps at the Rubber Stamp Convention at the weekend. Sharon (my fellow Gingersnapper) and I had a blast. And yes, I did quite a bit of shopping (big surprise). Here's a peak at what I bought:
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
