#TGIFC568 – TGIF Sketch Challenge with Simply Beautiful

Happy Friday! For this week’s TGIF Challenge, we have the sketch below. The black and white flowers immediately caught my eye. So I thought why not change things up and leave the flowers black and white and only color the background? Mixing things up is a great way to inspire your creativity and I love the results!

For this project, I used the Simply Beautiful Bundle. It’s got lots of beautiful flowers and layering elements. I stamped the images with Memento ink on Basic White Cardstock and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I cut additional leaves and even stamin for layering from Basic White. (Who says you only have to use stamin inside the flowers?)

In the background, I used Blending Brushes to add Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, and Melon Mambo ink to Basic White Cardstock. Then, I added water splatter for a cool watercolor effect.

For the smaller rectangular layer, I blended Flirty Flamingo ink and then used a Journaling Pen to draw lines and squiggles similar to the challenge sketch.

The final touch was some Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems.

Have a wonderful day.
