Blooming Buds

Hi and welcome to a late night post to announce the start of a new challenge over at ATSM.

This week our theme is -

ANYTHING GOES

Exactly what is says on the tin, link up whatever project you like as there are no restrictions!

Here is my card for your inspiration.

I've used the Blooming Buds stamp set by this week's sponsor

Founded in June 2013, California-based STAMPlorations™ is owned and managed by husband-and-wife team, David & Shery Russ. From just a handful of stamps, we now have 100+ stamp designs, 4 stamp designers, our exclusive line of stencils, and 20 amazing crafters spread across 3 teams who constantly produce gorgeous projects featuring our products. Our clear stamps are perfect for creating CAS, one layer, and mixed media cards, and they can be combined to create a variety of paper crafts. All of our stamps are proudly made in the USA. Our clear stamps are made from the finest, non-yellowing photopolymer resin. Through our stamp line, we hope to encourage crafters of all ages and

experience levels to "Stamp with all your ART!" 

I'd seen a couple of new to me challenges pop up in my feed so thought I would have a go at one.

I was inspired by the bold black and white stripe in the photo at Inspired by the Little Things, but didn't want to overpower the card so kept the DP to one side and I masked and stamped the flowers down one edge of a piece of white card before cutting away the edge that overlapped the strip. I'd seen  a technique like this over on the Altenew blog a while ago. 

The colours of the Can You Case It challenge this week are flamingo pink, chartreuse green and grey, so I went with those for the flowers. Stamping the outlines in Memento Grey Flannel, I used Copics in matching pinks and greens to colour. I also stamped the sentiment in Grey Flannel.
