Hi all! I seem to be in a blue phase at the minute, I need to get a different colour palette going LOL
First up is this little sailing boat from Penny Black - coloured with polychromos and popped up on foam pads. I've used a new slimline embossing folder that I thought would kinda work as the sea and added a few metallic paint splatters to give a splashy feel.
Penny Black Saturday challenge May - monochrome or anything goes
AAA Birthday #73 - any birthday
Cardz for Guys #371 - body of water
This one is similar to one I made a while back, using this pretty Altenew flower stamp. I used the same embossing folder in the background along with a few white dies to use up some leftover white card.
Cut it Up #329 - so sorry
As You Like It - - soft or bold colours? - well, it depends what I'm making! For sympathy cards I definitely think more subtle colours work best
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - beautiful blooms

And just for some brighter colour!... Here's a wee photo of my lovely Rhododendron - it usually gets hit by the frost or rain, but we're enjoying a lovely sunny dry spell this past couple of weeks so it's looking fabulous this year!!
That floral card is gorgeous with the embossed background. Thanks for sharing with us at Cut It Up :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love both these cards. That embossing folder is perfect. I never think to add splatters. I love them when I see them, and yet my cards always end up without them. Thank you for reminding me to consider them next time. I know I tend to go on and on about your embellishments, but they are always so perfect. The little star you added to the first card was the exact right touch. And I can't end this comment without mentioning your amazing rhododendron. What a beauty! My son and daughter both live in the Pacific Northwest and the rhododendrons grow wild out there. I am in awe when I see them.
ReplyDeleteI love your sailing boat with all the splashes, and the pretty sympathy card with its blue flower. It’s certainly is a good year for all the spring plants and shrubs, and Molly is posing beautifully 😍xx
