GKD Designer Challenge Hop

Hello, and welcome to October's Gina K Designs Designers Challenge Hop! This month Gina invited us to create a card with one of your our favorite background techniques from the STV archives. I chose crayon resist. It was perfect for making white flowers with my "Buds and Vases" set and a darker, contrasting background to make them pop.

Stamp your flowers and vase on glossy cardstock and color in the flowers with a white crayon. Don't worry about them getting completely covered, I love the little scribble scrabble that peeps through after sponging the ink! After coloring the leaves with green Copics, I sponged over the whole image with Tumbled Glass and navy ink, then wiped the excess away from the flowers with a napkin. I used Janice's color challenge this week as inspiration, vase is pieced with Kraft, and mats are Grass Green, Ocean Mist (Cuttlebugged with Victoria and sponged) and In the Navy .

Thank you for visiting me!
