Hello Friends ...
Today I'm once again playing with a technique I learned from a friend last week (details HERE) but this time I've added color vs just black/white.
I've used a floral stamp from a Hero Arts (stamp & dies) kit I bought 2 or 3 years ago and these adorable bees are from that same stamp & die set. I've used Tombow markers for my water coloring and a Sue Wilson lattice die for the technique. Faux stitching was done around the outside edge using a white gelly roll pen.
I've created this card with the AAA Birthday challenge in mind where the theme is LAYERS.
Here are a couple other challenges to share in:
Dream Valley Challenge #291 - Any Celebration (birthday)
Jan's Digi Stamps April Challenge - ATG
Die Cut Diva's April Challenge - Watercoloring
Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #443 - Birthdays
Fab'n'Funky Challenge #570 - Use Die Cuts
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Happy Birthday
I hope you're inspired to give something NEW a try.
Hope you're having a fabulous week and looking forward to a beautiful Easter weekend upcoming!
As always . . .
So very gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, lovely coloring of it, I still have to give this a try :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful technique. Coloring the image brings out all the texture of this creation. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our April challenge for using water colors and die cutting and/or dry embossing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool technique and it's on my "to try" list. I say Anne with Positively Papercraft do it and it creates a stunning effect. Great card Darlene, Thanks for joining us at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge!
