PDCC #129


Morning everybody,

A quick share today for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #129.
Here is the colour picture



Not only do I love the colour combo but my eyes were drawn towards the pillow. I have seen similar design pillows and cushions in different colours and I have pinned one such cushion on my pinterest's Inspirational board. So I took the pillow as my inspirational and made my card.
Here is my take on the challenge.


Supplies:
Cardstock: Stampers Select White from PTI
Stamp Set: Flower Fusion # 8 from PTI and Big Greetings from MFT
Inks: Basic Grey, Kiwi Kiss and Perfect Plum all from Stampin' Up! and Archival Jet Black Ink
Accessories: Rhinestones from Kaisercraft

I inked my arcylic block with Basic Grey and stamped on the white panel. I used the back of the negative image stamp from Flower Fusion #8 and stamped second generation to get the flower base. And then used the positive image of the flower and full ink to stamp the image. I love the texture yet still one layer card except for the rhinestone.

Thanks for visiting :) Have a great week!

Ta!

Absolutely brilliant. I love the special effects. How did you get so smart? What is in Australian water, and how can I get some?

Gorgeous! I love the way you used the negative stamp image to add dimension to the flowers.

Love the softness of the stamping and how the use of the gray this way highlights the beautiful colors of the challenge.

This is incredible Gayatri, what a brilliant idea to stamp the negative. I think you are starting a trend here.
