Die Cut Bunches Part 2 of bunches of blooms

Hello

Another post where I have cut a bunch of flowers, this time from MFT's Stitch Blooms and made flowers.  I used two tones of color for each flower and added a coordinating card base.





Thanks much for stopping by.

Bunches of Blooms Part 1

Hi there~

There are times when I don't know what I want to create but I need to do something. This time I stamped a bunch of flowers using Altenew's Stunning Cosmos stamp set. I used their inks as well.

After having stamped them all out, I added some more depth with copic markers, and then fussy cut a whole bunch of them.  I have the dies, but with that many flowers its just easier to fussy cut since the shape is not super intricate.

Here is  my pile of blooms, you can see one of the pink flowers without the copic color addition.



I was able to make several cards with this bunch of blooms.







Thanks so much for coming by.

Happy Birthday

Hello-

I am combining two challenges today - Seize the Birthday - Spring, and Color Throwdown Purple, Green, Yellow and Gray.

I started by creating a watercolor background with all 4 colors.  Over that I stamped some crocus flowers from Pretty Pink Posh in light gray and added watercolor in another no-line coloring attempt.



Once finished the panel was mounted on a pale green cardbase.  I love purple and green together.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of you

Hello!

I'm playing along with a couple of challenges.  I took out the watercolors.  I haven't played with them in a very long time. The challenges are CAS Watercolor Challenge,  Die Cut Diva's and Double D Challenges.



I created a backdrop by splotching around some yellow, umber and green watercolors.  Once that was dry, I stamped in very light ink a portion of an IO poppies stamp.  I have about 1/3 of the stamp on my panel.  I went for a no-line watercolor look.  After adding several layers of color and allowing it all to dry, I added a sentiment from CTMH.  I die cut the panel, and mounted it on a pale green card base.

Hello~

I've got another card for a couple of challenges.  I kept the water colors out and added the jar of embossing paste to my supplies.  This card will be entered to CAS Stencil Challenge and Addicted to CAS Ombre.  And its a stretch, as mine is a mirror image of the sketch at Case this Sketch.
 



I began with a piece of taped down watercolor paper.  I wet the panel in a small elongated triangle. I added lots of watercolor at the bottom and drew it up the panel.  I used some water to take out some pigment at the top of the color, dried it and added another layer of color at the bottom.  Once that dried, I added some embossing paste through the SSS leaf stencil.  I topped that off with a silver embossed flower on vellum from Altenew.  A small sentiment in sliver on black balances the bright pink.

March CCC

Hello~

My card for the March Card Chain Challenge is going to Jeanne in Minnesota.  I went with several of the options this month.  I used the colors Charcoal, Lime and Daffodil; along with the technique of stamping, and the theme of flowers.



The flowers come from Altenew along with the sentiment. I colored with Polychromos pencils, two yellows, two greens, two grays and the white for some highlights. I have the tin of 24, and I find for me there are enough colors.

Thanks for visiting, and Jeanne I hope you like your card.
