Doodle Pantry 5th of Month Challenge#13


It is the 5th of June and that means it is the monthly challenge at Doodle Pantry! The only rule is that you must use a Doodle Pantry image. I used this beautiful image of Almond blossoms and did something I normally don't do...I hardly colored it! I wanted the blossoms to take center stage so thought I would only color those...I don't know if I like it or not but to use one of my husbands favorite quotes, "It is what it is".
I used a paper grocery bag for my background paper to which I embossed and distressed with inks. I love the way it turned out.
Go on over and check out the challenge... you will love it!
Have a great week everyone!

OMG Georgia I love your card, it is beautiful.Super work on the background paper and I think the flowers are perfect the way you barely coloured them. Thanks for joining the challenge at Doodle Pantry this week.

What a beautiful card! I love the texture of the recycled grocery bag - how clever. Your coloring of only the flowers is very effective - what a creative idea. Love your card layout too. Simply fabulous and so glad you shared this with us at Doodle Pantry!

THis is amazingly stunning. Way to think outside the norm with the paper bag-the embossing and ink distressing really make this. Your flowers are perfect. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creation with us at Doodle Pantry.
