Hello everyone!

Inspiration Card Challenge

 

*******

Sliding in here to post a project I made for the Altenew February 2024 Inspiration Challenge hosted by  the lovely Kelly Griglione!

Those HUGE blooms in Kelly's inspiration photo simply stole my heart :) 
Recreating the bright pops of color on the brick wall was the challenge for me. So I chose a negative foiled Flowery Bouquet HFP piece as the focal point to color up with Acrylic Markers vol. 1

After color I trimmed the piece down and popped it onto shiny black A2 sized cardstock embossed with Brick Wall EF. The sentiment is from Vertical Greetings Die Set.



CARD SUPPLIES USED:

Flowery Bouquet HFP

Hot Foil Roll - Brushed Gold (Satin)

Brick Wall EF

Acrylic Markers vol. 1



Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for the challenge Kelly, it was a FUN one!!
