It's time for another fab Dynamic Duos challenge and this week we've got some beautiful and soft colours to play with...
My pre-order goodies from the Spring catty coming in Feb arrived this week and I knew which set I had to get inky first... Secret Garden! This set is so gorgeous, with oodles of possibilities but my first card had to use colouring - my favourite thing!
How pretty are those flowers??! I'm gonna be using those a LOT! I stamped them on watercolour card a couple of times each, die-cut both then hand-cut an inner layer for each to give added dimension. I coloured them with So Saffron ink and an aquabrush, together with a So Saffron marker, and added some dazzling diamonds to the centres. The leaves were stamped with Certainly Celery and die-cut with the matching die (so cool that there are matching dies for this set!!). The background was created with the Very Vanilla card and the honeycomb embossing folder (LOVE!!!). I added a little bee (from Nature's Walk, stamped with Crumb Cake and coloured with a So Saffron marker) and some Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon and brads to finish. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners, hand-cut and layered on a coordinating die-cut.
The layout for this card is from the sketch over at IN{K}SPIRE_me this week...
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, Amy, just had to leave a comment for you today. Your cards are always so crisp and clean, with a touch of artistic elegance in each one. How lovely this "color block" looks in reverse action, with the kraft below the embossed white. Looks amazing! Your sunshiny flowers are beautifully shaded. I'm no longer just a visitor. I have now become your latest follower and look forward to seeing all your creative inspirations this year! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteAmy, your colouring is just amazing! And I didn't see your cute little bee until just now - what a great touch :o)
