Here's my 1st card
I saw a beautiful card on Pinterest by Yoonsun Hur and wanted to try my hand at it. I used the sentiment from Wonderful Words and the Lotus Flower image from Mon Ami with matching die Mon Ami Fleur. To create my background I used a damp sponge paint brush and just painted on some Daffodil Delight ink, moving back and forth across my card stock. Flower colored with Copic Markers, sentiment stamped in Black Licorice ink. Crystal Drops in Dandelion Yellow and mini Adhesive Rhinestones for accents.
My 2nd card
This card uses the Casual Comfort image and sentiments from Mon Ami and the Love Ya die. I stamped my images in Pink Pirouette ink and centered my smaller sentiment. Then lining up my Love Ya die I cut that from my stamped background, making sure I kept every little bit of die cut, positive and negative. Then I cut the Love Ya die 4 more times from pale pink card stock.
I adhered my background panel to a layer of pale pink card stock and then to my card stock base. This makes it much easier to layer the die cut parts back into the negative space. Make sure you layer the stamped cut last.
It adds a nice POP to the card.
A strip of Designer Paper and a few randomly (wink, wink) placed sequins for accents.
So let's see AND hear what your cards have to say!

WOW!! Both cards are fabulous but that 2nd card really had me reading and thinking ... can't wait to give that a try ... looks awesome! Great job and as always ... awesome inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, Miss Donna! Lovely yellow background - thanks for sharing how you made it. Did you swish the paint across regular white CS, or did you use glossy? It's a lovely design, especially with the delicately colored flower. Your second card is delightful and interesting with that "ghosting" effect on the sentiment! Two great design ideas for featuring the sentiments. Thanks for the inspiration, Donna! hugs, de
