Another card for this weekend, this time with TGIF Challenges #tgifc523, and it’s a colour challenge.
For my card I used a very old Stampin’ Up! stamp, Stippled Blossoms, I love how these colours work with this stamp. And the greeting is from a Close to My Heart set from Stampin’ Up!
This week at Freshly Made Sketches FMS604, the sketch is a clean and simple one.
I chose to layer two leaves and add a die-cut leaf in the centre and three glass-like dew drops.
This week at the Facebook group Colour INKspiration the colours are Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Petal Pink, and Pecan Pie (Yum!!!).
The card I entered into this challenge is sponged using those four colours and an abstract stencil. I was surprised at how well the colours go together and made several other cards using this colour combination. I muted the colours in this card as I wanted the tree to stand out.
Today I am sharing a card I made for this week’s Sketch challenge with Sketch Saturday #733 with the added zing of using bling!
I have been playing with my Gemini Foilpress machine, I got some new foil dies and got out my inks and blending brushes. I love this card! I foiled the flower then blended three colours over the top and wiped the ink off the gold with a tissue. I can finally say I am feeling more comfortable with foiling 😊
I’ve had a busy weekend creating cards for some challenge blogs that I have recently found and started entering my cards into. I love it! It is stretching me and my creativity in a way that I didn’t expect. I am using colour combinations I would not have thought of, creating from sketches which I have enjoyed for quite a while now, playing tic tac toe with techniques and embellishments, and using old rubber stamps on wooden blocks that I’ve had for years!
These are the cards I created this weekend, three of which will go into three challenges, Just Add Ink, TGIF Challenges, and Freshly Make Sketches.
