Do you like floral cards? Today I couldn’t resist adding ‘apricot’ to my flowers!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew and you should have arrived here from VIRGINIA’s wonderful Blog.
Can a colour be ‘overdone’ because no matter how much I try I just can’t resist adding the colour ‘apricot’ to everything lol. For my first card I stamped this simple bouquet from the Floral Henna Stamp Set. And I used my Artist Markers to colour the images, you can find a full list of the colours below.
And the Climbing Leaves background has been ‘double die cut’ to create a focal point for the flowers.
My second bouquet of ‘apricot’ flowers was created by layering inks together to create these beautiful Ethereal Roses.
I kept this card very clean and simple and added a stamped black Bold Sentiment.
