CTC #267 week 2 Bloom & Grow In Citrus Tones






When I first looked at the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper, it struck me as being predominantly Autumn tones. I think it is probably because of the card with Terracotta Tile and Bumblebee(?) on the top right. It inspired me to use a favourite stamp from the annual catalogue, Bloom and Grow, and to colour in those shades.


This floral stamp is beautiful to colour with Stampin' Blends, with large clear images. The sentiments are also rather large and clear, with a straight forward message.

The white card has been texture embossed with the Subtle embossing folder, it gives it a lovely faint texture.

Michelle Strazds follows me this week.



If you have time to create, we'd love you to share something inspired by a sketch, a colour or something else from the Ornate Garden Suite over here at our Facebook page.
