The Flower Challenge

 

Hope you are having a terrific Thursday! I am squeezing in some stamping time while I still can before my husband's stem cell transplant this coming Monday. I'll be at the hospital quite frequently until he is discharged home in about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. His aphoresis procedure went well and he has tolerated everything else very well, so here's hoping he will handle this next step without complications.

I loved the sketch for The Flower Challenge which was great for a wedding card I will need in the near future.

I had this background panel in my leftover stash where I stenciled small dots using texture paste. I chose to add the vertical strip using die cut vellum. I changed the sentiment location since the lower left corner was heavily "weighted" with the florals and I felt it would look more balanced to place it in the top right corner.

STAMPS: Tuck It Sentiments (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Bright Buttercup, Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, New Leaf, Olive Twist, Ripe Avocado (PTI); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Vellum, Soft Stone, Stampers Select White (PTI); Bristol Smooth Surface.

DIES: Into the Blooms II, Ripped Banners (PTI); Sentiment Suite Basics (The Greetery); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things). 

OTHER: Bubble Blower embellishment mix (Trinity Stamps); Texture Paste; Small dotted stencil (PTI).

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!  ~Wanda
