The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 43
I’m back playing again this week. I’d like to know who picked the colour combination for this week *cough cough* I had to have two attempts!! This week I’ve used Stampin Up You’ve Got This stamp set.

My first card was just waaaaayy too heavy. I think the Tip Top Taupe should have been something softer like Crumb Cake or Sahara Sand. So to make it a little lighter, I’ve opted to sponge some Tip Top Taupe onto the Brickwall embossed background!
Here’s the graphic to play along with at home

And now we are hopping onto Tamsin Adam’s to see how she approached this challenge 🙂

This is so stunning. Your watercolouring is flawless!
What?! A Doily?! 😉 beautiful card Alisa – the subtle highlighting of the bricks gives it a great backdrop to the pretty flower
It doesn’t even look like you had a problem! I love this card, and I love how you added the happy birthday behind the flower.
Very pretty colours Alisa. I love the birthday circle behind the flower, with the lacy edge of the foil doily showing through. It looks so good against the lightly sponged brick wall..
Lovely! I love the contrast between the dainty flower on the shiny, gold foil doily and the rough, stained, brick wall.
I think this looks great. Love the foil doily, I want to use one on the next challenge. ?
beautiful card. love the background as well
