Hello! Working on some cards today and wanted to join in a few challenges.
The stamp I used is from Technique Tuesday, “Lisianthus Flower.” I colored it with Copic markers. I then used the die cut for the image to make a mask, and placed it over the image. This allowed me to stencil the background without getting anything on the image. Since these colors turned out to be a little more subdued I decided to make this into a sympathy card.
I used the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches (#429).

Beautiful blooms! Thanks for joining us at ATSM!
Gorgeous flower Melanie. They are so pretty and look even better with the dotty background. Great idea to fade as you get to the outside edge. Wonderful design. Thanks for joining us at The Flower Challenge!
Just beautiful! And very clever to use the die to mask out that lovely background. Thanks so much for playing along with us at the CC&S challenge blog!
