The Copic colored flowers are from Graciellie Designs Nourish and Flourish digital stamp set. I've created with these flowers before, but this time I printed them much larger and cut them out to fill the corner.
First time use of the Cottage Cutz Hope Phrase. Yes, it's one of my Scrapping Cottage bargain finds ($1.95). I picked up a few of these different words at that price. Nice size, pretty script.
After I had all the parts put together I added splatters the easy way -- with a stamp from SU's retired Itty Bitty Backgrounds set.
Inside the card is the sentiment, "A fresh start awaits every morning", which comes with the Nourish and Flourish set.
I sure do appreciate having you here and I hope you enjoyed looking! I'm a little behind on my computer activity, including visiting blogs, but if you'll bear with me I'll eventually catch up. Hugs all around... from a safe distance.
Wow! The richness of your florals against the leafy blended background is stunning Leslie! Love the bit of wood grain paper as it ties in with your whole nature theme, and the sentiment is perfect! Just exquisite! I was so happy to see your post today, as I always do. Still very little mojo for me for card making but I have a huge order to fulfill, I think your card might of just given me that push. Have a wonderful day Leslie, hugs
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty, Leslie! I love your wonderful background. What an uplifting card. It certainly is easy to get behind, isn't it? I usually feel like I'm trying to catch up!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Lisa, I love the background you created for this beautiful flowers, the colors are so rich and bright and they look like a little piece of your garden being kissed by the afternoon sun. Love the detail of the wood grain piece, it adds to the garden feel of your gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall the SU set you mentioned, so I'm going to have to go look, even if it's retired just so I can maybe remember it. When I need splatters on my cards, I rely on the Gorgeous Grunge set from SU, it also has a stamp with little splatters, and by the way, I wouldn't dream of using a brush or a stick to produce splatters, I would be terrified of messing my panel.
Stay safe and healthy.

ReplyDeleteanother beauty. good way to stretch your background. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteLove the rustic feel of this card. The flowers really pop off the beautiful background.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great inky background, Leslie! Love the woodgrain border and those gorgeous flowers that look fresh picked!
ReplyDeleteSigh.... inhale, and double sigh... though I've said this before to you, I believe this is my favorite Leslie card ever. The softness of the glowing background, the bold colors suggesting vibrant life, the wood plank, and the black and white HOPE - it screams beauty, encouragement, and love! Leslie - gorgeous use of the digital! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteLove your subtle background for your Stunning Digi Stamped Gorgeous flowers...they really pop! The perfect die cut sentiment for these difficult times. It is almost feeling natural to be practicing social distancing and staying home or in an isolated place...
ReplyDeleteTFS your beauty, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
We all need hope, especially at this time. The flowers are dramatic and lovely. Like the colors you used. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly stunning, Leslie. It’s saturated with rich juicy colors. Beautiful, my friend!
ReplyDeleteStunning card, great inking on the background and the colours are so strong, vibrant and just gorgeous.xx
ReplyDeleteGreat background, and the wood piece is great with it. Beautiful coloring of your large blooms, you did an excellent job cutting them out! Now I like that kind of splattering, no matter how careful I think I am being with my splattering, I still get it all over, that is sure a cleaner way of doing them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Leslie. Love the divided background. And those flowers --- WOW! Amazing colouring, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful my friend! You play with color so well!

ReplyDeleteMy mouth dropped open when I saw this gorgeous card you made. I love it. So well designed and the colors are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card. I love how the flowers pop off the page with the gorgeous colors. The background is perfect. I love SU's Itty Bitty stamp as well. Hope all it well with you and yours! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully created and so very perfect for our times right now, we all need HOPE and lots and lots of it!! The flowers are so beautiful and love the background softness, as always a beautifully designed card!! On another note I am wondering if you hit the CC sale...I did!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful. Hope! My faith gives me such hope and makes it easier to get thru these days. Those flowers just pop with the colors you used and the softness of your background and the added texture with your added card stock - so clever! Big hugs and I am getting tired of air hugs - I need some real hugs from all my friends, neighbors, and not to mention my family members outside of this house!!! H O P E ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers Leslie, I love the idea of changing the size of the image. A great advantage of digi images. Your splatters are spectacular :) I need to find a stamp like that. Gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this, Leslie! First the gorgeous blooms with beautiful shading and colors. The background is so pretty and looks great combined with the wood panel. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWOWZA! The coloring on the flowers is GORGEOUS ... so vibrant & eye appealing! And, that background is awesome! I never thought to stamp atop of my distressed background panels but LOVE the effect! (thanks for inspiration ... AGAIN! lol) Just awesome my sweet friend! Stay healthy & happy!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Beautiful coloring!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow!! I am drooling again... This is terrific in every way... Love the design, love the bold and beautiful coloured flowers, the background and the woodgrain... It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteFirst- I am really enjoying using up what supplies I have also. Especially the papers that I love to buy and never seem to use. I am getting better at it. Second this is beautiful. It is almost like peeking through the side fence and seeing the sunlight as a backdrop if that makes sense. Turned out beautiful Leslie.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers and love the beautiful inky background

This is such an awesome card! I can't get over how you came up with the idea to add the woodgrain panel. Brilliant and it works so well! Amazing job!
