I have seen at Shona's Blog a lovely challenge from Winnie and Walter NSD with Pinkfresh Studio Challenges and I like to join this time :)
I look at this lovely mood board and love the picture at the bottom part with so many flowers in so many colors...
I took my old Stampin Up stamp and stamped on a white paper:
Started to colored with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor those flowers:
And I thought this Background not GOOD enough (look so empty) also I took my Bokeh Dots stamp and started to stamped the tiny dots with purple distress ink:
Now I feel more happy with the background I made (looks like a design paper right? it was easy to made :) and I can mimic the color on the mood board) :
I finished my card with Cut Out (HAPPY) I have got from Joyce as goodies for my birthday, dear Joyce many thanks for your lovely Goodies all are adorable die cuts...and I stamped BIRTHDAY using my Hero Arts Alphabet stamp and punched it one by one with SU Puncher.
Here is the complete card:
Do you think that background to busy? I hope not :)

Beautiful stamped background, Monika! You made your own design paper - and it's much better than from the store! Gorgeous colours! Great die-cut sentiment too! Hope you have a great weekend!

What a gorgeous card - I can see why you don't like to use designer papers when you can create such amazing backgrounds! Many thanks for the spring roll recipe - I have some wrapper dough in the freezer and a tin of bamboo shoots in the cupboard so I'll make some very soon
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun bg Monika and the dots really make a difference. It is great to see you at Ink x
ReplyDeleteYour background is busy Monika but looks totally awesome! The die cut and the sentiment done like that finishes it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card Mon. Love the rainbow of colour, it's so bright and cheery :) P xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Monika, your watercoloring amazes me every time. I did my first card with watercolors and definitely need practice. Hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteI like your happy busy background. Adding just a simple black sentiment works well. Hugz

ReplyDeleteI remember that old set (I still have some of it, I thinK!) and you've made it look new again! Beautiful and bright!
ReplyDeleteYou were right to add those dots. The paper isn't too busy, it reminds me of a 70s retro wallpaper, looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty background. Thanks for joining the DRS designs challenge.

ReplyDeleteHugs~c
