I also made this card last two days and will posting in this together with my DT card:
I really love the color combo from the challenge at DRS Design Challenge Blog:
I used these stamp set for my card, an old Bee Set from Hero Arts and my new Botanical Love stamp from Create a Smile.
Do you believe LESS IS MORE...I believe it :) this image is mini and I dont need to colored much area but I concentrate at making the background color with 3 blue colors (after I masked the flower), to fit the color challenge above. And I also gave the flower white dots for accent. I am happy with the result of my coloring flower (yeah you know I am so bad at coloring flower and I learn day by day :) )

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have had a LOT of issues with trying to email YOU, but I did want you to know that my BLOG was updated after your asked about Little Lauryn!
I would be thrilled for YOU to send her a card and so would her family.
For some reason, all the info on her and her illness was MISSING...must has lost it when I had my new blog designed.
Thanks for letting me know so that everyone will now see ALL the details on her and send MORE cards. She hardly gets any these day and that makes us all SAD!
Hugs,
Lisa

I love these long legged Stamping Bella women. The background embossed with white on white paper looks super for a wedding card.
ReplyDeleteThe circle image looks so much more interesting cut the way you did and mounted onto the blue cardstock. As for your first card I really like it's masculine look, I've got a bicycle die like this and now you've motivated me to dust it off and use it....
wow...what a fabulous trio of beautiful cards! I am in love with your sweet wedding card, what a beautiful bride!
