Lime green, Leaf green, very pale blue!! PDCC 29

Its time for another Play date cafe challenge, and its a super fab mix of colours:-) If you have never played along then now's the time!

I am super excited to share this card with you 'cos this is the very first time I am using this stamp, it's absolutely gorgeous! Love everything about it really, the fact its so large is even better:-)

This card was meant to be a uni-sex birthday card since the colours were rather gender neutral, but before we get going let me warn you it's not as simple as it looks, takes quite a bit of masking and colouring to get this one done, but what's the point if it's not a challenge huh?

Ok now for the details,

I first masked about a .5cm around the card with my masking tape, yes, I found a new use for it, better than using removable adhesive and masking! then I stamped the flower heavy to the left side of the card, inked it several times and stamped on the the plain white area around the flower to fill gaps.

Then I stamped another flower on a scrap of Card stock and cut out a circle with my circle cutter. Then I used the scrap to mask around the circle where it would be on the card and lightly drew around it so that I knew where the coloured parts would be.

Coloured the flowers with my Copics, I used leaf green for the centre of the flower and lime green for the lines that run through the petals. The circled area I left blank. Then I coloured the other circle piece of the flower which would later be mounted on the colourful flower with grey inks. I used several shades to give it depth. Masked the outer circle again and smudged it with Black Soot distress ink ( I wanted to create a halo effect), then cut out the grey portion of the flower and adhered it with dimensional adhesive.

To get the outer blue border, I masked it again this time creating an unmasked border around the card and filled it in with my blue Copic marker. Lastly I gave a little outline around the card with a black fine nib felt tip pen, Viola!
