As You See It #348

I had a leftover piece of embossed watercolor paper in with the frame die and used it to make a card for As You See It - Spots or Stripes.  I wasn't sure if embossed spots were what they were looking for until I saw DT member Joanne's card. 

The Penny Black frame aperture had already been cut from it so I cut another piece for the actual frame in addition to two other layers.  For some reason the panel was short for an A2 card so I cut the bottom off the card base.  The center was used to stamp the PB Love Blooms flower that was watercolored with Distress Inks.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders.

Just Us GIrls #773 - Die Week

I'm the host for die week at Just Us Girls and I would like you to use a flower die on your card.

April showers bring May flowers so I thought this would be a great challenge for the first of May.  And since it is a new month, I'd like to welcome Rosemary Dennis as our guest designer for May. 

For my card I decided to use the hollyhocks from The Greetery.  They are cut from C9 Pink Lemonade and inked with Aged Mahogany DI.  The leaves are PTI Green Parakeet inked with Rustic Wilderness.  For the background I used a handmade smoosher that I saw Ardyth use on one of her videos.  The sentiment is a BetterPress from Spellbinders.  

It's made by wrapping plastic bag material around a wad of paper towel and securing with a rubber band.  All you do is water down your ink, pounce the smoosher into it and then onto your card.  I know a lot of people use an acetate sheet but I found this to work well for me. 

The Design Team and I would love for you to join us and Rosemary for this challenge and have inspiration for you on the blog.  I hope to see you there.

Freshly Made Sketches #678

Cecile has such a wonderful artistic style of card-making and we can emulate that with her sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.   

I see an irregular shape superimposed with a flower.  What do I have?

A die from TH that's part of a Mixed Media set was cut in the corner and backed with yellow.  The daisies are from Pinkfresh Studio's Beautiful Blooms colored with the accompanying stencils and Altenew ink.  Topping it off is a BetterPress sentiment from Spellbinders.
