White Flowers - Colored Leaves

After

Before

Transformation Tuesday with Melissa Challenge.  Link:  Melissa Phillips Transformation Tuesday

For my transformation, I used a card I recently completed for another challenge.  After having it sit in front of me on my desk, I felt the scale was off (i.e. flowers to leaves).  In addition, my Cover Up Grid stamp came and I believe it was Laurie who had a card with layers of grey which I loved.  I made the background simpler, more dimension with pop ups, a little shine with Wink of Stella and all one color other than the grid to pop the colored leaves.

Stamps

Cover Up Grid, Leave It Be, Garden Party and Phrase Play 7 (found this one when organizing my craft room)

Papertrey MIM #326 - Inchie Elements

As usual, once you have finished and taken your photo and uploaded you notice a detail such as the fray on the white ribbon.  They say in some cultures when hand crafting (at least in cross stitch) to leave a mistake on purpose to show you are not perfect - just a flawed human.  So I'm going with that.

Wishing You All The Best Flowers in Reverse

The challenge may be found over at Papertrey Ink by Dawn McVey Dawn McVey MIM  The Challenge is #325 - Flowers in Reverse.

I have been purging and organizing my craft room and of course have run across stamp sets I haven't used in awhile.  Therefore, I was determined to use only those stamp sets - although tempting to want to use recently ordered sets.  In addition, I wanted to use the new gray (weather vane) and a card stock color I haven't used in awhile.  I've been stuck on pinks lately.

Medallion Organization Card

I am participating in a 30 day clean up/de-clutter challenge in my craft room.  One of my thoughts is while doing this I want to see what stamps I haven't used and sell them and the other thought was discovering stamps that I love but haven't used or ever inked up.  The medallion in the center of the card is one of them.  

I was inspired by a layout by Laurie Schmidlin where she used layers of grey card stock and contrasted it with a white background on one of the layers.  Her card used florals. This inspiration may be found at Laurie Schmidlin Inspiration Card

All supplies are Papertrey Ink, other than the ink used for the larger medallion.
