Today I have a card for the new challenge over on The Sisterhood of Crafters!
Today's theme is:
ANYTHING GOES
Awhile back I was fortunate enough to win a beautiful set of stamps from the Unity Stamps Company called 'Fear Not'. And, as you can see, that's what I've chosen to create with today. These days it seems I can't have enough cards of encouragement so our anything goes theme gave me the opportunity to get a few more cards added to my stash.
BELOW was my original card idea before I decided to color in the flowers with Derwent Inktense
pencils and an artist brush. Since my card was already completed, I wasn't sure if it would improve the card or destroy it but I figured it was worth a try. LUCKILY it turned out okay ... Which do you like best?

ReplyDeleteI like the one that you colored the flowers, so pretty and I like the way the fear not is in the yellow area like it is highlighted

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! Both cards are so beautiful and the rainbow of colors is really perfect for your sentiment. I couldn't pick between them, the flowers just pop beautifully on both. Sorry I haven't been around... Just busy with work in the garden which is never ending! Have a super day!
ReplyDeleteLove the vibrancy
ReplyDeleteWowie wow, this really grabbed me! The colors are intense and amazing! I like the colored flowers, I think, but it actually looks good either way. It's nice to send encouragement cards. We all need to know someone cares and is thinking of us.
ReplyDeleteI do love the vibrancy of Inktense, so magical to see them come to life when water is added. Pretty card with it's lacy trim and I agree we can never have too many cards of encouragement. Thank you for the inspiration.

The explosion of color looks fabulous both on the background and within the flowers! What a beautiful expression of strength and support with the great sentiments outside and inside too! Gorgeous!
