Day 2 - 3D Floral Focus - monochrome

Day 2 of the class, Therese talked about using a monochromatic theme to your flowers.   For my monochromatic colours, I chose various cream cardstock... one textured, one dark cream and one a more lighter cream colour.

I used Floral Fantasy 3D dies for this one.   To allow the creams to shine, I used a black pearlescent card.  I took some white acrylic paint and water it down to add splatters onto the black.   I white embossed the sentiment from Build a Flower - Rose set.  I added the black panel to a grey card.  Added a few clear gems.

Today I made a quick card for a friend.  I was inspired by a card I saw from the lovely Lin where she made her flowers green.

I used Lime. Limeade and Fresh Leaf inks together with Forest Glandes and Evergreen inks for the leaves.   I made the background by blending some grey inks through a TCW brick stencil and added some black and white paint splatters. Love the real grungy look I achieved.   I added a little sentiment embossed in white on some of the black pearlescent card and a little washi added above.  This sentiment is perfect for my friend as she really is unique. 

Had a lovely visit from Kieran, Erin and Grace today.  Grace was awake when they arrived so I got some Nanny cuddles before she had a feed and went to sleep.  I had to stretch lunch a little as they arrived just before, but did come with some yummy little bread pizzas.
