Fab Friday's sketch challenge 113:
and Just Add Ink's #361 to choose two from flowers, washi and watercolour.
The flowers are from the Stampin' Up set 'Awesomely Artistic', which satisfies the Retro Rubber requirement of a stamp older than a year, because it appears in the 2105/16 catalogue (it may be older, but that's when I got converted to making cards!) I loved the sketch's invitation to put the flowers front and centre, and the lines behind the circle just begged for washi tape, which meant that JAI's challenge fitted beautifully.
Anyway - here's the final result:
Stampin' Up: Awesomely Artistic stampset, Banners for you stampset, Bunch of Banners framelits, Stitched Shapes framelits, Whisper White and Pool Party card, washi tape from Affectionately Yours suite, Basic Black Ink, Cucumber Crush and Elegant Eggplant marker pens.
Other Products: Fiskar small butterfly punch, American Craft Pow! glitter paper, Faber Castell water colour pencils, Wink of Stella (clear)
Very pretty! Your colouring and focal cluster on the lovely white space is a real impact...Love it! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
ReplyDeleteWay to go on combining the three challenges - you did a great job there! Those flowers are perfect for our sketch - love it! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteFantastic combination of challenges, Jo. They're made for each other. Great colouring. The water colour pencils look good. Did you use a blender pen with them? The fussy cut image on the stitched shape works really well. Totally worth the effort of the cutting. Thanks so much for joining us at Retro Rubber for our colour challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I'm glad you noticed the effort on the fussy cutting - makes it all worth while! And yes, used a blender pen.
DeleteHello JoMo: Indeed, your fussy cutting skills are superb as this beautiful bouquet of lilac flowers takes front and center stage on this card, the washi tape is the perfect detail.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your gorgeous card with us at RETRO RUBBER, hope you play again next time.
Hugs,
