Here's my card:
For this card I used Gina K Designs A Year of Flowers Stamp Set by Melanie Muenchinger, and did the masking technique to layer the flowers. I stamped everything on watercolor paper and colored the flowers (and ladybug) with Distress Markers. I love how it turned out - I am such a fan of watercoloring. But then, dear reader, you already know that. *wink* I added a few Glossy Accents dew drops on the petals of the rose and colored the black flourishes with a black Wink of Stella pen for a little glitz.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White 120 lb Card Stock
GKD Black Onyx Card Stock
Recollections Painted Fancy Patterned Paper
GKD A Year of Flowers Stamp Set by Melanie Muenchinger
GKD Stamper's Favorites Stamp Set by Melanie Muenchinger
HOTP Flourishes Stamp Set
Tim Holtz Distress Markers

That is beautifully masked and colored. I like the flourish behind it too. A magnificent design!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!! I love the rich, vibrant colors on your flowers and the way you masked them looks amazing too! The ladybug accent just makes me smile and think of warm weather! Wonderful card!!
ReplyDeleteGosh! Isn't this just gorgeous!?!? You did wonderfully with the masking to create gorgeous flower layers, jammed packed like a lovely Spring Bouquet! Coloring is spot on and I love the beads of dew and moisture, freshly picked flowers on a Spring morn.....ooooh how I long for this! That black flourish just makes everything pop, pop, POP! And your sweet little lady bug too! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that I noticed on this card was the vibrant colors that you used. Gorgeous! Then I saw the dew drops and the sweet ladybug. Sweet! The black flourish just sets it off,and you nailed another challenge. But the Wink of Stella is outstanding in black.
