Hello! The weekend is here! I hope you have some fun plans. I'm popping in with a couple of cards that I have made over the last few day. First up is a card for Freshly Made Sketches. I recently ordered a few things from Honey Bee Stamps and received a little card with my order that can be colored. I decided to try my hand at coloring with grays using the card. I pulled out my Prisma Color pencils and found three compatible grays and got to coloring up the flowers. Once I finished with the flowers I found a green that was in the gray family, as well and a light yellow that I toned down even more with a white pencil. I trimmed the panel just a bit once I was done. I adhered some black cardstock that I embossed with an embossing folder to a light gray cardstock base and then added my panel. I have to admit that I really pleased with how things turned out!
The second card is for Color Throwdown and CAS(E) this Sketch. When I saw the CTD color palette I immediately thought of one of the Starbucks Christmas mugs that you can find in their stores. They are so pretty and feature I stylized poinsettia on them so I decided to make a poinsettia for my card. I just love poinsettias! I pulled out my AJVD Poinsettia die set to create the poinsettia using red and aqua cardstock. Once the flower was created I added strips of silver glitter cardstock to a white cardstock base. I placed my flower on the card where I wanted it and then placed my sentiment stamp. The flower was removed, the sentiment was stamped using VersaFine CLAIR Tulip ink and then I adhered the flower. Love the super clean and simple design.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
