Subtle Colours and a Sketch

Hi there. I had a quiet weekend due to being under the weather, so I cheered myself up by making a card today.

I brushed the 2 layers of subtle colours with lightly diluted distress inks and then stamped the flowers from a very old (no longer available) stamp set (Flourishes Bees & Blooms). The sentiment is from Altenew.

I coloured the reverse of the white sequins with Altenew markers to get the matching subtle colour.

I'm entering the following challenges:-

    Sorry to hear you've been under the weather but what a lovely way to cheer yourself and making this wonderful card. Love the subtle colours, the silhouette flower image and a creative way to colour the sequins....Thank you for the inspiration x

    Hello Jenny: Oh my gosh!! As soon as I saw your card, I immediately recognized the stamp you used!!! It's from Flourishes and it's called "Bees and Blossoms" and it was released back in April of 2013.
    I love how you colored those stripes and then stamped your flowers, what a beautiful way to interpret out sketch over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE.
    Thank you so much for playing along with us, we hope you come and play again next time.
    Hugs.

    OOOPS!! The stamp set is called "BEES AND BLOOMS" not "Bees and Blossoms".
    Sorry for the mix up.

    What a beautiful and artistic take on the sketch, Jenny! And the sequins colored in the matching colors like the background were a perfect finishing touch!
