Color Throwdown-Red, Orange & Purple-CTD613
We Love Chocolate Baroque-Anything Goes
I love alcohol inks for their vibrant colours and everything you can do with them. I took a glossy white cardstock, put some alcohol solution directly on the card and then dropped some alcohol inks in the 3 colours. Afterwards, I wanted a more "blotchy" look so I put the same colours on the spongy tool so I could dab those colours directly onto the card. Once that dried (which went quickly), I stamped the leaf design directly on top. I stamped the flower in purple and heat embossed it in white, which I did not want to do, but it seemed to come out in a pale lilac so it still worked. I took my tombow markers, in various shades of purple, and scribbled them on the flower. Next, I took my waterbrush and painted the flower by brushing the colors around. I did the same with the leaves. I took my Happy Birthday die cut, rolled it through my sizzex to cut out the saying on purple shiny paper. I used pop up dots for the flower and glued the saying in place. I coloured the corner stickers in purple and placed them in each corner. Finally I took a couple of tiny flower crystals and used one for the dot above the I in "Birthday" and another in the one flower centre.

Tuesday Throwdown-Make It Sparkle
We all need an angel on our shoulder I think and I love angels so this was a fun and quick card to make. I stamped the angel in Gold, took embossing powder in Egyptian Gold, Lavender and Silver and sprinkled the powders where I wanted them to go. I added the mixture to the stamped saying and the snowflakes. I added the gold border stickers and coloured inside with a silver pen. I added small silver dots everywhere for snow flakes and, finally, mounted this on the gold glitter cardstock.
May you all have a beautiful week regardless what we see on TV or social media...ignore it and enjoy your day.
Hi, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteCard #1 has some major color saturation going on. It's an eye-popper, dear friend! I think I like card #2 a little more because blue has become my favorite color of late and because the saturation is more natural. I also appreciate the depiction of an angel tooting his/her own horn and twinkling stars in the sky.
Thanks for the uplifting images today, dear friend BB!
The colors in the first card are really bright. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat first one is really snazzy!
ReplyDeleteMy little country is going into full lockdown this week so back to the 5km restriction from home. Heaven on earth I could do with some of these angels on my shoulder Birgit and it'll be my 50th on November 15th. Yes these cards of yours are excellent, I wonder what Happy 50th Birthday Spacerguy would look like lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Birgit. It's funny you should mention owl as a totem, animal, because I was having owls show up in my life in all sorts of ways. I looked it up online and learned a little. I had a book on totems, "Animal Speak" and unfortunately I lent it out to someone who hasn't returned it. That was a fantastic book.
ReplyDeleteVery cool card! Thanks for playing along with us at the Color Throwdown this week!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautifully vibrant creation, it's lovely to see you at We Love Chocolate Baroque, thanks so much for joining in.

ReplyDeleteNice card
ReplyDeleteWere these the ones made to classical music playing in the background? They are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a pain free day.
I just look at the lovely cards cause I have NO idea what you are describing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe first really catches the eye indeed. Great cards.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful angel card. I love the color combination. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Tuesday Throwdown!
ReplyDeleteYou have created some beautiful cards Birgit. When I saw the background of the first one, I thought the colors and design reminded me of leaves. Little did I realize that is what it was. Beautiful colors, too.
ReplyDeleteYour angel is adorable. We could all use one of those these days.
Fabulous blog
ReplyDeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you like my cards. The first one is that bright so it may not be for everyone but I love that colour combo. I did create these while listening to classical music which makes me feel at peace. I’m glad you like them and one day, I should try and describe on video what I am talking about:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love that red! What a special gift for the recipients. I have a friend who makes cards and they always feel extra special. :)
