Have you ever ‘coloured’ a black & white flower? AND, if that’s not your thing, I’ve got you coloured!

Yes, that’s right today I have 2 versions of the bouquet from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Feathered Lilies. These kits seriously have everything you need to create with multiple techniques, but today we are keeping it simple with a focus on colour.

This is part of my Take 2 Series with Altenew and I love how different these cards look just by changing up the colour.

A project kit such as this can feel like an investment, so it’s great to have multiple ideas to use and ‘stretch’ it! So, let’s get started…

Idea #1 – Black & White

I rarely ‘colour’ in black & white… and I had this idea to make 2 similar but different cards (sound familiar?) to show how different the end result can be after adding colour.

I used the Gentleman’s Gray inks to blend the image and added dimension with the coordinating 3D Embossing Folder.

BONUS TIP: Why not try a combination of warm grey or brown inks to create a Sepia look!

I decided that this would make a great sympathy card and used a sentiment from the Fragile Foliage Stamp Set. I’m doing some ‘font’ swooning here.

Idea #2 – Bright Blooms

I wanted a total change in the colours for my second card. So I chose bright pinks from the Cherry Blossom Set as well as lime greens from the Spring Bouquet Set.

And this time instead of ‘white’, I added a Navy background with a Dotted Tile pattern.

Finally I added a Dazzling Diamond sentiment from the Sweet Sentiments Die Set.

Are you inspired to colour some black & white blooms or perhaps go straight for the bold bright colours? You can see the creative process for these cards which you can watch right here or in HD on YouTube.
