Flowers on Tan with Kraft

Today's flowery card is for Papertrey Ink's anniversary Day 4 floral challenge. My layout is super simple, offsetting the very busy stamped and sponged flowers. I like the effect of the bright bouquet on a quiet tan and kraft background.

Card details:

Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) fine linen (tan), lemon tart (yellow), spring moss (light green), sweet blush (pink), melon berry (light orange), and aqua mist.
Patterned paper is the bitty dot print from PTI classic kraft pattern pack (tone-on-tone prints - retired).
Dies are from PTI color pop florals.
Flower and leaf details are from PTI color pop florals, stamped with PTI vintage jadeite (medium green), raspberry fizz (pink), bright buttercup (yellow), amethyst allure (purple), and ocean tides (muted teal) ink cubes. I also sponged the edges with some of the same ink colors.
The sentiment "hello" is from Hero Arts many everyday messages, stamped with PTI classic kraft ink cube.

Operation: Quiet Comfort

Starting in early 2016, most of my cards are now made for Operation: Quiet Comfort.
As explained on their web site, "Operation Quiet Comfort exists solely for the purpose of honoring and comforting America’s military men and women who become sick and injured while serving in harm’s way. We also provide support to those who care for them. We collect, package and ship supplies for U.S. Military men and women receiving care at medical facilities abroad." These packages also include cards with messages of support and encouragement ... "thinking of you, patriotic, thank you, cheerful cards." I'm happy to have the opportunity to support our troops in this way.

About My Cards and My Blog

Unless noted otherwise, all my cards are A2 size - 4.25 x 5.5" when folded.

I was making cards long before I started stamping, so for my card images, I sometimes will do my own line drawing, then color it with markers. To use it multiple times, I scan it before coloring, then computer-print it. For more on my drawing process, see "How I Draw," and also "Anybody Can Draw."

I use Copic markers (I prefer "original" and also have some of the "sketch" type), Copic multiliner pens, and the Copic airbrush (airbrushing with my markers). See "About My Tools and Materials" for my Copic colors and other tools, materials, supplies and sources. Techniques and materials may also be noted in the blog post.

I will post a few times a month, whenever I have a new card to share. For cards before 2012, the date on the post is the approximate date of the card, not always the posting date. Reference posts like "About My Labels" are filed together as 1973, but are much newer.

See "Blog Help" if you have problems with viewing or printing.

Unless otherwise noted in the blog post, this is my original creative work. All of my cards, drawings and text are copyright, and are shared only for your personal, non-commercial use and enjoyment. Copyright © CPOvermyer 2009-2024.
