It is Springtime down under

And the crew at Just Add Ink have an absolutely stunning inspirational photo to switch on our creative juices this week. This is a gorgeous inspirational photo which matches the perfect Spring day in NZ I am experiencing today. There are still 4 days to play along with the challenge if you would like to join in too or just check out everyone else's beautiful cards.

I knew exactly what stamp set I would use to try and KReate a field of flowers; my Painted Daisies from Pinkfresh Studios with it's coordinating 6 layer stencil and die.

Now I have to be honest this is my first go at colouring up with 6 layers and I was certainly able to add a lot more depth to the images. I got a bit confused what stencil I was using so I probably did one layer wrong but it is certainly very pretty and colourful. I love the green combo I ended up with my for my leaves it wasn't my original intention to use this combo and not sure if I have seen it used before but I think it works really well: Mint/Fresh Pear/Meadow. I stamped with a light grey ink (Misty Coast) before blending. I have to admit the sentiment was in my left over sentiments but I feel it works really well, I do love The Ton's easy expressions sentiments where you can layer up 2 colours or one embossed like below, it is really effective.
