The Card Concept # 53

Hello!

A new challenge starts today over at The Card Concept, based on the photo inspiration below.
The colors are so bright, bold and beautiful! Makes me think of summer!


I tried my best to mimic the brightness of the colors in my card.
I used the Pretty Little Peonies stamp set from Wplus9 to stamp my flowers on some watercolor.
I used Distress Crayons from Tim Holtz to color them in. 
I varied from using a water brush to just smudging them in with my finger. I found that smudging them keeps their boldness which is what i was going for here but I will continue to play around with them, I haven't quite found the best way to use them yet.


I added some pattern paper and a tiny strip of pink cardstock on the side and added my sentiment. I adhered my panel on to a white card base and that finishes my card!

I hope you'll join along with The Card Concept! Love seeing what the creations!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

    The Distress crayons create a very artsy look, they appear to be similar to Gelatos. Very pretty card! Can't wait to see what you do with them next!

    l like the look the crayons give and using your finger to smudge them works out great, kind of like a piece of contemporary art. The strips of card own the side add a lovely grouding touch x

    It's gorgeous - I love the boldness of the crayons. I've heard mixed reviews about them and I think they'll be great for mixed media, but not sure for card making. Thank you for sharing! Xx

    I think you captured those colours perfectly Shannon, and the design with the side strips is lovely.
