Bright and simple

Welcome!  I’m so glad to have you here!  It’s the second day of my personal challenge.  Yesterday, I used the Sunflower Daisy set with an ink blended background.  Today, I’m using the same set to create a simple card with a die cut background and bright vibrant colors!

The Altenew inks are made to coordinate with each other in their color groups, but its also fun to mix them up with each other in the same image.  The Daisy in this image was treated with Rose Quartz and Puffy Heart from the Rose Petal collection and Heart Beat and Vineyard Berry from the Tea Party collection.  Mixing the color groups adds a bit of depth and variety to the stamped image.  It is easy to do with this stamp set, as the image has 4 stamps.  You can use the full range of values in different colors to make interesting combinations.  The leaves for this image were created using Mountain Mist, Volcano Lake and Just Green.  The layering of those colors is just as fun as can be!  It’s a great complement to the daisy image.

The Altenew cover dies, are so versatile.  This card is bright with color and simple in it’s layout.  The die cut panel is Altenew’s Circle Quilt cover die, cut out of vellum.  A vellum die cut is a great way to add a little extra texture to your background without distracting from your main image.

A strip of orange cardstock with the sentiment stamped on it with Firebrick highlights the daisy center perfectly.  Completing the card with iridescent sequins adds a touch of color.

I'm entering this in the Sunday Stamps Challenge and The Flower Challenge!



Great seeing you here, have a colorful day!
