Muse # 150

Jenni has a beautiful card for this week's MUSE Challenge.

That flower from Clearly Besotted is the first flowers I purchased from that company, (Happy Everything). it is my favorite and I absolutely loved Jenni's card and design.

I would have liked to just copy the whole thing!

Since I am taking the Online Watercolor class, I thought I would use some of the techniques on this card.

I embossed the wonky chevron (MFT) and then did a water brush background going from a darker gray to a lighter gray.

I did the drop in technique from Altenew that I learned last week when I watercolored the flower.  I added the same Pearl Pen drops for the center of the flowers as Jenni did.

I think this makes a striking card and perfect for either sympathy or praying for you.

 

Here is Jenni's card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Heart Hugs!

Sparkle & Shine Challenge May 15

A photo inspiration over at Sparkle & Shine Challenge

 

I used the rose from Clearly Besotted: Happy Everything and colored it with copics.

A Winnie & Walter gift card is going to the winner selected for this challenge!

 

Two Challenges ~ One Card

I am seriously in need of comfort cards and sympathy cards for my bible study ladies, I can barely keep up with the demand!  Sad, isn't it?  Lucky for me there were two challenges that worked for this card.  The first is CAS ology:  Blossoms

The second is CAS(E) this Sketch # 114

I pulled out my favorite blossom stamp from Clearly Besotted:  Happy Everything and I white embossed it and used water with distress inks to paint in the petals and leaves!

I then used Lil' Inkers Stitched rectangles die and cut out the center portion and adhered it flat to the card base.  The frame was attached with dimensional tape to raise it up.

 

Thanks for taking a look...hope you all are having a fantastic St. Patrick's Day...hope y9ou didn't get "pinched" today!!

 



Day 8 Card for Copics Online Card Class

Debbie Hughes was a guest on the Online Card Class...she has a unique way to color and blend...I tried to follow her steps with softer looking flowers and leaves.

Jennifer did a unique cutting of the flower off the page and then for the background border she just took the same copic colors and spread it around the edge of the background card stock

so the edge colors would match with her flowers.

I used a Darice embossing folder for the background card base.

Thanks so much for taking a look!
