The Flower Challenge #18 Anything Goes

Its time for a new challenge over at The Flower Challenge Blog and this month it's Anything Goes. 

To make the Challenge even more exciting we have a couple of  Prizes this month.

This month we are very lucky to have one of our previous sponsors back again. The very talented EunJi Jung from DotBstamp has two of her amazing floral digital images to give to our lucky Winner this time. They are also her latest two releases for this month !

Here they are below if you want to see a preview. Of course there won't be watermarks on yours if you wish to purchase them. Aren't they soo gorgeous !

Magnolia

All the design team have been given a choice of these same two digital images to use on our cards to inspire you all. So get making your cards for a chance to win these two fabulous digital images ;)  

The Winner will be announced in the usual manner, the day before the next challenge. 

Please don't forget to use your Florals as always and as the MAIN feature on your card.

I decided to use the Magnolia image for my card for today and have printed up on 250gsm Copic cardstock on my Laser printer. I played around with the sizes until I came up with a size I liked and was able to fit quite a few on each on an A4 size page. The lines are very fine which means the images look really beautiful when coloured. I did try using the Scan 'N' Cut but found it wouldn't acknowledge the bottom of the stems and ran out of time to fiddle so had to fussy cut. Will have to play around some more later and let you know how I go.

This is something that can happen with finer lines.

I have coloured the leaves with my favourite greens YG01  G21 YG17 and pinks R000 R00 R10 R02. Just love this combination, its soft yet stunning.

As you can see up close I have used all the magnolia pieces, the main one twice, the sharper image once and small bud three times tucking them in and around the silver glitter paper die cut piece so they look as though they are growing behind, through and infant of it.

Sorry I cant think off hand where I got the silver frame piece from, its one of those pieces you buy then never use, then find its suddenly perfect with cards in style at the moment so not such a bad purchase after all. Definitely looks good in glitter card stock. the cardstock underneath in watercolour

covered in bright pinks and oranges Distress Inks smashed and smeared and a bit of gold paint added which doesn't really show up in the photos but is there in abundance.

All finished off with a simple die cut 'love' in white cardstock.

Really happy with how this turned out. Now its time to go see what the rest of the team have made with these beautiful images provided by EunJi Jung.  

Before you go I just wanted to let you know that Ruth (Crafting While the Baby Naps) my very dear friend, such a wonderful listener and support for me since I first came to Blogland, is leaving The Flower Challenge as her family life is so busy  and work and Design Team work pressure can become overwhelming. Something has to give and this time it is us. We will of course still see Ruth as we will hound her for Guest Posts etc as we do others who have escaped.

As our team is getting smaller we are thinking that it would be nice to add to the team as well so if you are interested in joining us go to The Flower Challenge and read what Vivien has written and see if you are interested in joining the team.

Thanks so much for coming to visit and I hope you come again soon.
