The Timeless Tuesday challenge host this time is Heather and she provide a beautiful inspiration photo and asked us to make a card using at least three of the colors from the photo. I think I some how managed to use almost all the colors to be found in the inspiration photo!! The stamps I used are from the Craft's Meow set Butterfly Kisses. I stamped the little fairy girl twice using So Saffron ink. One was trimmed out completely and the second only her wings. I then applied a thin layer of Diamond Stickles to the second wing. After it was dry I attached it to the main image and added the rhinestones. Because I wanted the piece with the sentiment stamped on it to extend beyond the edge like it does in the sketch I trimmed 1/2 inch off one side of the card base, making it 4.25 x 5. The sentiment strip is 5.5 inch, thus making the entire card 4.25 x 5.5. All the papers are from Stampin Up!, including the little oval that the fairy girl is layered on.
The second card uses the Flourishes set A Year of Flowers 1. Since this is a color challenge I tried to adhere as closely to the colors as I could. I was pretty happy to find a piece of SU! Sage Shadow cardstock because it is so similar to one of the greens used in the color swatch. I colored the pansies with Copic markers. Center pansy was stamped a second time, colored with Copics, trimmed out and then popped on the image. The layout for the card is from this week's Sketchbook Saturday sketch.
Thanks for stopping by....
