For AAA Birthday "Fabulous Flowers" and My Time to Craft "Summer Florals":
I created the background by sponging with various brown Distress inks, stamping some grid lines and sentiment, and splattering a bit. The I stamped the floral branch on top and used Posca paint pens to colour it - they have enough pigment to colour over the background colour. I trimmed it with a square die and sponged a bit more of the darker brown around the edges.
Color Hues wants white and aqua. I made a simple notecard that I can add a sentiment to the inside of when I need it.
A simple smooshed background in shades of aqua, a stamped text / tree
image, than a thin black border, a white border with some faux stitching,
and then another thin black border.
Addicted to CAS wants to see Critters and I needed a notecard to send to one of my fellow horse-loving friends.

Beautifully coloured flowers using some Posca Paint Pens Susan..am thinking about getting some paint pens as they do have an opaque finish which is good for painting over background as you have here and the finished look is wonderful. I love your two different notecards are great...love that Serendipity horse image with the wonky stitches edge to the mat, and the pink glitter card for the matted layer, and the tree with script image goes terrifically over the smooshed aqua background and some brilliant black and white layers...love the faux stitching too.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the beautiful birthday card with the pink flowers paired with your gorgeous background in shades of brown. It's lovely, and has a place of honour on my mantel! :) Two lovely CAS cards. Love aqua and white together ... so peaceful. And your horse is a gorgeous image.
