T is for Texture

 Hello and welcome to my blog. today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges, Lynda has chosen T is fo Texture. please visit the blog to see the design team's inspiration. 

I began with a base 7 x 5 inches white card. On a seperate piece of card, I blended two colours of  Hunkdory's Prism inks. I then used an embossing folder from my stash, after this I sandpapered this with a sandpaping block, which created the white lines around the design. Within the circle I added two circles using 2 dies. The sentiment stamp is from my stash. I coloured, using the same watercolour colours used for the blending, then cut the flower using a die. Adding to the card with 3d foam pads.

I blended several shades of yellow for the shadow background, then using a Versafine black stamp, I stamped a Visable Image stamp - Lilies with love. I added small trios of black dots randomley on the page. On seperate pieces of scrap white card I again stamped the main Lilies stamp. Coloured the buds and three main flowers with shades of pink and the green . I then fussy cut the main pieces and added these, with foam pads, onto the previously stamped image.Finally I added a Hunkydory small sentiment and three trios of pink gems.  Happy crafting.
