Hello everyone! It’s NOVEMBER! It’s been almost a year since we’re living in these challenging times. I am so thankful that my family is healthy. Hope you’re all doing well !
It’s time for a new challenge at The Flower Challenge! The theme for this month is “Use a Sentiment” ! Easy Peasy, right π ?!
I have made a floral card in Fall colors using Rise & Shine brushstroke cling stamp (40-749) by Penny Black. I’m not good at using the brushstroke stamps. I adore the projects other crafters are making using them, but I always struggle in stamping the image as I wanted. I tried it again and there was no surprise. I hope I can do it someday π !
I started off by stamping the flower on a piece of watercolor paper using Tombow dual brush markers in various green, yellow, orange, red and brown colors. For a more clear definition I stamped the flower again in Wild Honey DI and the leaves and the stem in Crushed Olive DI. I fussy cut the image and set it aside.
I wanted a subtle background, so I stamped the Rise & Shine image on a white panel two times in Morning Frost (Altenew) and ink blended Wild Honey DI after masking the border. I splattered clear water on the panel and dabbed it off.
The sentiment is from Blooming Sentiments (30-703) set. I stamped it on the background panel in black and adhered the panel on a white cardbase. I foam mounted the colored flower and scattered some clear sequins to finish off the card.
Hope you like my card π .

Oh, I think you have excelled using one these brushstroke stamps, TaeEun!! It’s as perfect as it can be – and just as beautiful as any I’ve seen!!
This should be a cinch of a challenge – as long as I remember the flower! LOL

Beautiful card!!!
How beautiful TaeEun and love the markers used straight to stamp and the pretty and subtle background with the stronger colour coming from the corner and the lightly stamped flower hinted at in the background. A gorgeous card! x
Oh wow! Golden and gorgeous! This is a beauty! Thanks for sharing your talents with Penny Black stamps- you wow us everytime. π
I don’t know what exactly you were aiming for, but this is beautiful and I think the watercolored look is just awesome! The variegated colors on the flowers an the leaves- they are just making me sigh with wonder. I am loving this card, TaeEun!
Wonderful choice of colors and love that quote from Audrey Hepburn!
LOVE this card TaeEun! Your colouring of the sunflower is amazing and I love how it looks over top of the sponged corner. The softly stamped image in the background really adds so much to the depth of the design. xx
This is so gorgeousπ this reminds me of the flower in Eric Carle’s The Tiny Seed book.. beautifully done!
Beautiful job TaeEun and I love the textured look your flower has! So stunning!
Your brushstroke coloring is wonderful, TaeEun, and I love how you did the background. It adds so much depth and color.
