Guest Designer at ATCAS

Good morning all.

Hope you've all got great plans for this Bank Holiday weekend in the UK. The weather might even behave itself!
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win over at ATCAS with my little plaid shirt and was then asked if I would GD, so of course I said yes! After much thought I ended up making not one card but two for the new challenge, I couldn't decide which so I'm sharing both.

I think they fit with this fortnight's theme of

    

Flowers would have been the obvious way to go but then I remembered the Indigo Blu stamp I bought at Port Sunlight which shows the petals in close up. I wondered what colours to use then remembered the photo over at INKspiration and the lines in that reminded me of the veins in these petals. I dragged a couple of DI pads, Picked Raspberry and Salty Ocean, across the petals of the stamp, wiping away most of it from the center. This technique always gives a random effect, so its pot luck as to what it looks like. You can only control the ink to a certain degree!

For the large square card, I added blobs of platinum Pearly Doodles to the center and white Cosmic Shimmer glue to the smaller one. I liked the idea of focusing in on the petals, hence the small image but I liked the larger framed one too. 

I mounted both images over an inked square just so a tiny hint poked out then added a MFT diecut square frame over the top.

Please check out the rest of ATCAS's fab DT for more inspiration.
