Entering two card challenges. The Sisterhood of crafters and FMS # 519

Today I'm sharing a card which I'm entering in two challenges,

something I've not done before.

The Sisterhood of Crafters asked us to use the colour Blue,  my favourite colour.

I also used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #519.

The base of my card was made with an embossing folder from Simon Says Stamps, "Kaleidoscope".

The popped up square is from Spellbinders, "Pierced squares".

I stamped the flowers by Stampin' Up, "Flower Up" onto Yupo and colored them with Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink, "Stonewashed".  The lighter tones were achieved by added more fixative.

I added Prima, "Say it with crystals" to the centre of the flowers for a bit of sparkle.

Unfortunately I don't know the name of the silver leaves, as they were a gift from a scrappy friend.

Thanks for calling in to say G'Day.

Keep safe and stay well.
