Two of my "OLD" friend (it means I knew them since I started to join Hero Arts Flickr 2009) from Hero Arts Flickr has birthday at middle of this month June and I must make cards for these two lovely ladies...Dawn and Dotty Jo (Jo Avery). Ok first card I made for Dawn:
If I am not wrong remember Dawn like some kind of cards with woodland images. Dear Dawn this card is for you, I will send to you soon and hope it come soon to your home :)
Supplies: the tree is Die Cut from Pia (many many thanks sweet Pia for this lovely tree die cut), The Fox I did exchange my stamping image with a lady, and I used again the cloud stencil from Billie. (dear Billie always so happy to use your cloud stencil it is a wonderfull tool :) )
Challenges for my first card are:
Scrapper´s Delights Challenge Blog #45: Always Anything Goes(sdh a. p.)
Crafting From The Heart Challenge #63: Anything Goes (1/3)(sdh a. p.)
Seize The Birthday: The Toppings is ANIMAL (3/3)(sdh a. p.)
AAA Cards Challenge game #41: Woodland Animals
------------------------------------------------------
The second card is for Jo, I know she can coloring her images sooo beautiful and perfect and I am not so good at coloring flower...this time I try my best to coloring this flower Images from Create a Smile stamp named Botanical Love.
How I made my card:
1. I stamped and embossed with white embossing powder.
2. Then I choose the color from my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor set and started from the middle of the flower to get a darker colors and after the colors are dry I took a bit the colors with water to the outside area of the flowers.
3. Same prosedure with other flowers and leaves.
4. The sentiment I embossed with white embossing powder too and Iits only because I wanted to close the bad area on there with black cardstock :)
I LOVE THIS FLOWER STAMP SO MUCH....it helped me to make a good flower card..as I must confess I am not good at coloring flower images :) (silly me)

ReplyDeleteI thought you’d like to know your project has been showcased as one of my weekly Fav on my Feature Friday post today! Thank you for being a follower of all things beautiful. Take care and enjoy your weekend. Amy A. http://alllthingsbeautiful.blogspot.com/2015/06/feature-friday-6262015.html
ReplyDeletePtetty cards Monika. Love them both.
ReplyDeleteThat woodland card is so darn cute! It can be tricky to find a spot for a sentiment with this kind of scene, but I think you solved it so elegantly with that speech bubble. The flower card you made so colorful and elegant, lots of colors and stamps can end up looking a bit busy, but this card is perfectly balanced.
