Hello everyone It’s reminder time already at The Flower Challenge, and dont forget you can win a stamp set from Altenew, all details are over at The Flower Challenge. My background combines white heat embossing over distress oxide ink blending and the bleaching technique. To ‘bleach’ I used a paintbrush to add water to areas of the image and after a few seconds I dabbed the water off with a dry cloth. Because distress oxide inks are water reactive you reactivate the colour and dab it away. I love this effect. The heat embossed stamps are from Altenew Golden Garden.

Heat or Dry Embossing | The Flower Challenge May 2019
Hi friends, For the May 2019 Flower Challenge we have the challenge of Heat or Dry Embossing on your cards. If you join in you also have the chance of winning a stamp set from Altenew. For my card I used the Altenew leafy frame, die cut and layered a number of times from white cardstock for dimension. I added this to an ink blended background using Victorian velvet and worn lipstick distress inks. For the central panel I gold heat embossed the floral from Altenew Golden Garden and coloured it with Spectrum Noir Aquatint markers. The sentiment is from Altenew Love Labels. I hope you will also check out…

The Flower Challenge: April Reminder – sketch
Hi friends Here is my second card to inspire you to join in at The Flower Challenge. I used lots of beautiful foiled patterned papers by my minds eye: yes please by Jen Allyson. I stamped the florals from waffle flowers bouquet builder 3 onto patterned paper too and fussy cut them. I added a little bit of grey copic to the centres for some shading but it is very subtle and difficult to see in the photos. A small Simon says stamp sentiment and Lucy’s jewels finish this off. I hope you have been inspired and will check out what the rest of the DT have made.

The Flower Challenge | reminder March 2019
Hi friends Here is my reminder to you to join us at The Flower Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes, nice and easy. For my card I was inspired by a beautiful scarf that is my MILs: I used a new waffle flower bouquet stamp and coloured it with my zig watercolour brushes and attached to a black card base with gold and white paint splatters. The happy anniversary heat embossed stamp is my favourite from Heffy Doodle. I do hope you will join us and check out the inspiration from the design team.
