I recently received a surprise email from Megan at the Happy Craft Challenge. She let me know that I had been chosen by a design team member to Guest Design for September. The optional theme is Spring and so I decided that there was no better theme for a Spring card than to use flowers.
I had won some digis from Imagine that Digistamps and one was the Rose Blessing digi set. I had often admired cards that people had made where they had stamped lineart stamps onto cardstock to create a background. I decided to try and do that digitally. So using the lineart, I changed the black to purple and laid out the background in Silhouette Studio. Since I could create a rectangle in the software, I could get a visual on my screen of what the scattered roses would look like. I then printed them out onto light pink cardstock and cut the rectangle out with the machine.

I love the way you used a digi to recreate the look of the lineear portion of a multi-stamp set being used as a background. Very clever! Thank you so much for entering our ATG challenge at Arty Divas this week.
Looking forward to seeing you again next challenge.

Hi Monica wow I absolutely love the colouring of this flower and the background. I have admired this type of style before and now I’m back making cards I have pinned this to remind me. I’d also love to colour with pencils like you have, it’s just stunning. What a beauty xx Aileen
