Guest Designer at CTB IN THE GARDEN Card and a Mother Day Card







Another saturday it means another challenge at Catch The Bug we have this week IN THE GARDEN THEME...you can join us and you will have a chance to win some lovely and cute Images from Bugaboo Store. Here is a card I made as Guest Designer, I choose this Image from Bugaboo: Make it Snappy - Floral Moms Day



I used my Old Designer Paper from my Old Collection and also the old stripe black paper puncher from my Blogland friend. I colored the Image with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor set, I choose brown, green and yellow, to match with the design paper I have. I adhere the main panel with the double tape foam.



The sticker flower is a birthday goodies from my lovely friend Petra Heller, many thanks Petra for your lovely goodies. I love to use it :). I also scored my yellow paper with my SU ScorPal. The DANKE Sticker is from my Stash.

Digi Designs Challenge: Load on those Flowers(sdh a. p.)

Craft Your Passion Challenge #260: Anything Goes(sdh a. p.)

 -----------------------------------------------
 
For my second card I try to make bokeh effect with soft color...as I made last time my Bokeh card using a vibrant color, also I decided Vibrant color is better than the pastel color for bokeh effect what do you think?

Here is my past card from first of May:




Here is my new card, tell me your opinion please, which one is more better for bokeh effect? My Opinion is better using a vibrant color to make the Bokeh effect come out :)


 I made this for my mother hope she will like this :)



I choose the color pink, green and yellow from Ranger Distress Ink and put the color on the white paper and spritz it with much water. At the end I sponged green, yellow and pink distress ink on my self made stencil and the very last is the white unicorn ink.



Challenges for my second card are:

Winnie and Walter NSD with Pinkfresh Studio Challenges (sdh a. p.): this mood board, I inspired from the picture at the bottom right, it has a look like Bokeh Effect and it also has a pink strip on the lady dress, thats why I choose pink card base :)

  2. Your cards are all so beautiful! I love your flowers and that flower bling on your first card, and the embossed stripes are wonderful! I love both of your bokeh cards, and I agree with you that the bright one brings out the effect even more than the lighter one.

  4. Monika your cards are all gorgeous! I love both the bold and light color Bokeh effect on your cards. I have yet to try that technique, but after seeing your two cards with it I think I have to try it today!! Thanks for sharing all of your cards with us and for playing along with us at the Die-Versions Mother's Day Card Challenge!!

  6. Beautiful cards, Monika! I love the bling on the top card! Your bokeh technique looks beautiful - I agree that it does look better on the darker colour. Enjoy your weekend!

  7. You're putting your old papers to good use. Love how it looks with the bright and bold scored paper. Very springlike.
    Bokeh favorite, hmmmm.... I think I'll agree with you on the bold. But it's all a matter of taste, I guess some will say the softer colored one is their favorite. That being said, I think it's a lovely card for your mom.
