Happy Birthday Floral Cluster

 Hi all.  Dawn here to share my card for our June challenge.

 Our challenge this month is a color challenge. We'd like you to use at least three of these colors, as well as black and white and skin tones, for people.


Our Sponsor this month is Poppystamps who will be giving our winner a $20 gift card. Thank you Poppystamps for your generosity.


My card uses an older Poppystamps die - called Floral Cluster. 


I made my own coloured cardstock using Altenew inks and my gel plate - I used Canyon Clay, Burnt Red and Mahogany Bark inks direct to my gel plate and brayed to combine.   The colours become more muted and softer then direct to paper or ink blending.  I used some green inks and did the same for my branches and a very light version with Silver Sage and Jade inks for my background.  I embossed that with Altenew's Organic Linen embossing folder.  I die cut two layers of the green branches and then the separate flowers from the various blending I did  I added three over the flowers on the branch and three for around the edge of the die cut oval.  Sentiment was stamped in Gray Denim ink - to keep with the soft muted theme.  The matting layer is actually an olive green ( not as dark looking as the photo)

Do come and join us, using your die cut machine and the colour palette for the challenge. 

Dawn and the Divas.
