Simply Graphic

Les Fleurs Rondes

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at Just Add Ink.

I finally used a stamp from my Sentimentally Yours/Phill Martin textured stamp set that I got last year. The stamps were slightly smaller than i was expecting, but they worked well here I think.

I added a die cut by Simply Graphic (Die Fleurs Rondes) which I coloured with Distress Inks and Twinkling H2O paints. I added some glitter card that went perfectly with my coloured die!

Finally I added a Memory Box sentiment.

Double Flower

Hello everyone!

Today I’m using the colour palette from this week’s CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

I knew I wanted to us my new ‘Die Fleur Double’ by Simply Graphic as my focal point so I started with that and adhered it to a die cut circle. I was going to add some foliage in the soft suede challenge colour but everything I tried detracted from the beautiful flower die. So in the end, I die cut the background with another Simply Graphic die and added some card to the back of my card base to fill in the dots!

I added a few gems and a Pretty Pink Posh sentiment to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Les fleurs graciles

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I just love what Cecile called the whimsical fuzzy background!! My interpretation uses a Taylored Expressions abstract stencil and Salvaged Patina ink that I blended and then smooshed onto my card base. I decided to use my new Fleurs Graciles die from Simply Graphic as the focal point for this card and added a little Simply Graphic bow as well.

The sentiment is by Pretty Pink Posh.

Les fleurs piquantes

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Just Us Girls challenge which has a colour combo of red, black and white.

What a bold combo! I toyed with using a black background, but chose to use white in the end. I decided to use my new Fleurs Piquantes die from Simply Graphic as the focal point for this card and coloured the die cuts with black and red alcohol markers. I added detail to the flowers using red pencil, but it’s pretty difficult to see that.

I wanted to add something extra to the background and so stencilled some glitter paste using a star stencil. I added a Simon Says Stamp sentiment to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wildflower bouquet

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a very LucieG-palette of pink, sage green, lavender and blue.

It’s weird, but when the combo contains MY colours, I always feel a bit more pressure to show them off well. Today, I decided to create a bouquet of colourful wildflowers using The Greetery’s Wildflower botanicuts and a bouquet die from Simply Graphic, all coloured with distress inks. The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.
