Hello my lovely friends and
visitors, I hope your weekend is going well.
I have another card I created for several challenges to share with you
today. The inspiration for this creation
is the ‘Create Your Own Background and Make It The Star one of my all time
favourite challenges lol! I really am a
wee bit obsessed with the new stencil and stamp set I was able to purchase: I
am in love with them lol! Anyways here
it is …
A bigger one this time 148mm square
Nice and flat for posting
A final look
Created for me and especially for these Challenges

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #219
Anything Goes
This
card started as a snippet of white card.
I used a large piece of card from another project and I attached the outer
stencil with Washi tape and I placed the inner flower stencil inside the big
stencil so that I could paint the outline.
I used the pink (Beautifully Grunge) to paint within the stencil, then I
used the gold (Essentials set) to add gold highlights to the pink. I used the pink for the background but much,
much paler lol! I have to admit the pink
colour popped more than I expected it to.
It is one of the blessings of the AquaTints – I need to remember to add
less paint to my palette next time lol!
The stencil set contains multiple parts and I love that because it means
I can get many different looks from it.
Thank you so much for taking
the time to visit and comment. I really
do appreciate it and I hope you get some time to do what you love to do this weekend ttfn Karen x

What a really lush looking card Karen, the gold embossing really gives extra depth to the blooms in that rich colour.
So pleased you are coming out to play this week, see you in the playground.

Awesome card with gorgeous colors. So blessed you joined our bi-weekly Challenge at Word Art Wednesday and hope you join us again for a new Challenge that started yesterday. Leaving you with the inspiration of God's Word in Isaiah 40:8 which tells us, "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."

Lovely card, Karen. I don't think you need to worry about too much ink...I like the saturated look of the flowers...it is very arty!
This is gorgeous Karen, I love the rich colour and it is a beautiful background.
