Color Throwdown-CTD 760- Navy, Blue, Yellow
Happy Little Stampers- Watercolor Optional-Layers
The Flower Challenge- Use a Die
I had a lot of fun today. I created the background using colour bursts in blue, blue sparkle and yellow. You just dab the powder on water colour paper and it's like magic to see the colours appear. I stamped the flower in black and coloured it in with Gamsol pencil crayons. For the 4 corners I took a die cut and cut it out using my sizzex. I glues them in place and added the blue crystals including the little butterfly. For some extra sparkle, I used stickles on the flower.
Christmas Card Throwdown - Theme Challenge- Christmas Mice
Crafty Animals- Anything Goes
Simon Says-Make it Cute
Christmas will be here before you know it and I love Christmas but wouldn't mind it being delayed. I had this cute mouse yawning but, I thought, I could make a group and they could be singing so..they are. I created the background with distress inks and flicked some water on it to give that splatter look, almost like snow falling. The mouse was stamped and masked( stamp it on sticky paper, cut it out and place it on the mouse for protection) in order to stamp the mouse 2 more times. The tree and sentiment were stamped and embossed in blue indigo. I layered onto different papers.
They are lovely. Making cards is something I have never done. You are very good at it.
