Getting my mojo back and playing along again today with
Papertrey Ink's Anniversary Celebration. Today's challenge is to
Build A Bouquet using more than one floral stamp set. For this card I've used
Year of Flowers: Larkspurs and Botanical Silhouettes (Anniversary Set from 2010). I started with a base of Distress Inks in purples and greens, laying down color before I stamped in order to keep it loose and fluid. I then stamped the larkspurs and added the floral silhouettes in around them, an attempt to subtly suggest a riot of spring flowers going on in the background. I went back in with markers and colored the larkspur to give them more definition and pop, since they are meant to be in the foreground. Also added a bit of collage-feel to the background with
Background Basics: Text Style and
Fancy Flourishes. The sentiment is from
Mega Mixed Messages.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! Dreaming of spring.....

Stunning, gorgeous card.
So lovely! I love the dreamy imaging with the silhouette stamps in the background the the pretty larkspur in the foreground. The collage look is a perfect added touch to this. I am definitely dreaming of spring!
Gorgeous!! Your colors are awesome!!
Simply a beautiful work of art! Lovely in purples and greens!
This is so pretty...makes me think of early morning mist and water coloring. :0)
I love your stamping! The background and foreground flowers are beautiful!
Beautiful!!! I love your coloring, and how you have varying intensities of color--some flowers are very light in color, while your focal image is brighter. Ingenious! I agree with Marcia Hill's comment, it reminds me too of water-coloring--I love it!!!
Best wishes,

Lovely to see your blog rising up the "recent changes" list after its long hiatus :o) You've made some lovely project for the PTI anniversary and this one is particularly beautiful, love the hazy silhouette blooms behind the larkspur!
Gorgeous colors, image and design Jean.
