JAI 344 inspiration challenge - Special Reason

It's inspiration challenge week at Just Add Ink & the lovely Kim has given us this fresh summery image to work with.

I choose both the layout & colours as my inspiration to make this floral card.

The gorgeous flower & leaf is from the new & very clever Special Reason - Stylish Stems stamp & die bundle.

I've used the 2 largest flower dies & the 2 large leaf dies here. It may be hard to see in the pic but I've only attached the white flower back & navy stems together at the flower centre to add some extra interest & movement. I also added some clear Wink of Stella to the white layer too.

The ombre look on the navy & white Floral Boutique dsp was really easy to do using just a sponge brayer & pool party ink pad. Simply ink up the brayer & start just off the edge of the paper where you want the deepest shade of ink, then keep rolling across & down the paper, reinking the brayer until you get the depth of colour you want.

I kept the inside simple with sentiments from Special Reason & another die cut flower.

What do you think? Can you see the inspiration pic in my card? Hope so (smile).
