Inspired by Artful Bras Project

The Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge chose the Artful Bras Project by the Quilters of South Carolina who made one-of-a-kind bras for breast cancer awareness. Click on the link to read more about the inspiring exhibit. I was inspired by many of the bras in the exhibit and loved the ones with flowers and especially the bra covered in buttons.  I chose to combine those two elements to create a simple project.

(OK….this has nothing to do with my challege project but I just couldn't resisit showing it here) 

I stamped three flowers with Brilliance Black Graphite across my strip of white cardstock  and three additional flowers on scrap paper to color and cut out to pop up for dimension.  I had such a good time in Friday’s Stretch Yourself LSC challenge using my watercolor pencils and watercolor brush that I decided to use them again. I love the combination of purple, yellow and green and the stark contrast with the perfectly white background and white lace trim. The little green knots were just perfect placed on the stem to represent leaves.  This is just about as easy as it gets when it comes to creating a fun and inviting card.
