The Queen's Scene: Thinking of You

Good morning! It’s Wednesday and time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge. Our colors for this week’s challenge are peach, pink and apricot with a lovely inspiration photo.

After looking at the inspiration photo and seeing all of the beautiful blooms, I thought the Altenew Floral Fantasy stamp set would be perfect to use. I started out with a white card base, then used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables dies to die cut a piece of white cardstock which I blended on some tattered rose distress ink. Next I used my Mist tool along with the Altenew stamp set Painted Greetings to stamp my sentiment. After that, I used the Floral Fantasy dies and die cut my roses and leaves. For the largest rose, I used the Stamping’ Up pretty in pink and regal rose with the first layer stamped off. For the other two roses I used blush blossom (SU) & melon berry (PTI) and apricot appeal & pumpkin pie along with kraft ink for the leaves. I really want to order some of the Altenew inks because I’ve heard such good things about them and they have fantastic colors. Once my images were stamped, I adhered them to my card front, popping up the large pink rose with foam tape and then added some Sparkling Clear Pretty Pink Posh sequins.
