Well, since I was in assembly mode, I made some more cards that fit the bill for the July card challenge prompt, where the focus colour is yellow.
They all feature yellow inked backgrounds that incorporate painterly effects, some with a splatter stamp, there are a few nods to the colour combos in the prompt image, the sentiment is a typewriter font, and the pot plant has been interpreted as a bouquet in a mason jar. :)
Here's the first card:
Stamps: Pinkfresh Studio - Modern Layered Floral, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type, The Greetery - Just Mason Around
Dies: Reverse Confetti - Stitches Cover Panel, Pinkfresh Studio - Modern Layered Floral, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type, The Greetery - Just Mason Around, The Stamp Market - Tiny Tags
I used a rather alternative but bold colour palette for the floral bouquet - I rather like the blue tones in the mix.
The background was created by blending Sweet Mustard ink from Pinkfresh Studio on Neenah cardstock and then spritzing randomly with a little water and using a paper towel to blot the water droplets so they'd be more obvious.
Once the background was dry, I ran it through the Big Shot with the stitched cover plate.
The sentiments used for all three cards are designed to be used with a typewriter die in the same set, but they fit perfectly on these mini tags from The Stamp Market.

Next up, it was time to combine Distress Oxides and go full on aqua and blue as the contrasting colours:
Stamps: Pinkfresh Studio - Modern Layered Floral, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type, The Greetery - Just Mason Around, MFT - Brush Splatter Background
Dies: Lil' Inker Designs - Silly Stitched dies (r), Pinkfresh Studio - Modern Layered Floral, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type, The Greetery - Just Mason Around, The Stamp Market - Tiny Tags
Other: Distress Oxides
The blended background uses just two shades of Distress Oxide. I find Fossilized Amber such a versatile shade - the denser the blend the more orange the results, but with a light hand you can get a lovely midtone shade too.
Once again there are lots of water blotches dabbed away with a paper towel, and for extra splatter I stamped the MFT background stamp in Lawn Fawn No. 2 Pencil ink.
I didn't mention earlier, but all the jars are stamped with the same ink colour for all three layers. Cloudy Sky from Altenew is a lovely shade of blue that layers up nicely to provide those darker tones.
When the background was dry, I used a stitched die from Lil Inker Designs to add a little more interest around the edges to frame the project.
I rather like this mix of yellow and aqua tones for the bouquet.

Finally, we have another Distress Oxide background showcasing the bouquet:
Stamps: Pinkfresh Studio - Modern Layered Floral, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type, The Greetery - Just Mason Around, MFT - Brush Splatter Background
Dies: Waffle Flower - Diamond Texture, Pinkfresh Studio - Modern Layered Floral, SugarPea Designs - You're My Type, The Greetery - Just Mason Around, The Stamp Market - Tiny Tags
Other: Distress Oxides
This time it's just Fossilized Amber doing all the work - with some subtle water splatters and stamped splatters.
I used another striking shade of blue ink for the jar - Dusk from Altenew.
It feels very autumnal with the pink/yellow florals against that amber background.
This time the cover die is from Waffle Flower and adds to the radiating effect of the blending.
And I think that's it for now. :)
