Oh, it is going to be a rainy weekend here! Boo! 🌂 It has been a rather rainy Fall so far. I know it is important but it makes it hard to do stuff outside, like stack our firewood on the porch. Oh well, it will get done. :-)
So, it is time for another challenge over at Inkspirational! We have got a fun color challenge for you this time. Black + One other color. (You can use white too if you want.)
I decided to use a stamp set that I have neglected for a while. Check it out....
First thing I did was do a watercolor ombre wash on watercolor paper using Seedless Preserves Distress ink. I really love this vibrant purple. Once my panel was dry splattered some water on it for some water spots. Then, I stamped my neglected coneflowers and grass (SU!) in black Versafine ink. I stamped the sentiment (STAMPlorations) in black as well. Lastly, I attached my panel to a black card base exposing a narrow strip down one side.
So, I hope you'll come on over to the main blog and join in on the fun! You'll see some outstanding projects by the rest of the DT too. 😀
Have an awesome weekend and thanks for stopping by!
I'd link to link up to the following challenges:
Becca's Hop to Stop - use purple. Becca's trying to raise awareness about domestic violence. It's an important issue and if you'd like to help out you can link a card and even send it to Becca where they'll be donated to the local shelter.
Addicted to Stamps and More - anything goes

I just go ohhh and ahhh over your cards, Kim. These silhouette stamps against the gorgeous ombre background is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteWe've got plenty of rain here in DK as well. Good excuse for crafty time indoor ;)
Absolutely gorgeous! The background is inked so perfectly, and the silhouette stamp looks lovely against the color!
ReplyDeleteLove that background, gorgeous ombré look x

ReplyDeleteLove this so much!! That background ombre colour is stunning and the black image against it is so stylish. I'm so very glad you shared it with us at The Flower Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI'm running late in commenting, but here I am, totally dazzled by your beautiful silhouette flowers! I had no idea how lovely Seedless Preserves is used as a wash (well, of course I wouldn't - I avoid water-colour as much as possible *grin*) and paired with black...talk about a gorgeous, dramatic combination! WOW!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Such a striking card Kim, reminds me of some of the spectacular sunsets we've had around here recently. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! It is stunning!
ReplyDeleteOk Kim, this card made me sniffle big time. A) because it's so beautiful, but B) because of the stamps you used (and I'm not even talking about the Strong Women set. When my grandma passed away, I was able to receive some of her stamps and that big Stampin' up daisy and grass was one of them. It was always one of her faves. Loooove the ombre, love this card, and am sending lots of love your way. Thanks for touching my <3 today. Thank you for joining in the Hop to Stop and helping to raise awareness for victims of domestic violence.
ReplyDeleteStunning card! I love the ombre watercolor background! Those cone flowers are beautiful, the background really makes them stand out! Love that sentiment too! Beautiful card for a wonderful cause!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful background! Love those images too... perfect for this type of card!
