3 Challenges - 1 Card!

8/1/2019

8 Comments

 
Today I'm combining one card into 3 challenges:
​ 
Addicted to Stamps #352 - Make Your Mark
Global Design Project #200 - Case the Designer
Paint Party Friday Week #22, Year 9 
 
I used an egrets metal stencil by Dreamweaver/Stampendous and it's one of my favorites, especially here in Florida.  Mine are a bit fanciful, and I like that they're not predictably colored.

​I had a scrap of watercolor paper that was set aside and today was the day to make it work with my card design!  I used Picket Fence Blending Brushes and Alt&New Crisp Dye Inks to color the birds.  The background was cut from a large "failed" watercolor and it is amazing to me how cutting up a little section of it worked perfectly for the background!  As I always say, don't throw out your failed paintings!  You can always use them to diecut from or even stamp over as well.

​Here's my card:

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Tickled Pink (FSJ)
Papers:  Ultra Smooth Cardstock (Catherine Pooler), Canson Watercolor
Accessories:  Egrets Stencil (Stampendous), Crisp Dye Inks (Alt & New), Stitched Circle Dies (A Muse Studio), Prisma Glitter (Lawn Fawn), Quickie Glue pen (Sakura), String (my stash), Fun Foam (Michael's)


Thanks for Stopping By!

XOXO

The colors are really bright that is why this card really gives a positive vibe. Also, the creator of this card surely is an expert because as you can see, this was made very carefully. The outline and colors are very precise. I really wish that I am as creative as the maker of this card. You see, I lack creativity and imagination in doing such artistic craft. My sister is really fond of doing things like this. I will definitely show this to her, and maybe, she would be glad to know someone who is as good as the one who created this.

I love your art. It's pretty amazing especially with the color combination. But what caught my attention is the simple message itself that connects with the picture of slender bird that stands tall and beautiful. Though the message was simple but it got to me. It has a bigger meaning. As if it was telling me not to be afraid and that I should stand tall in front of anybody and be proud of who I am and of what I am capable of. I should feel beautiful and smile to them and be happy. I like it so much. Keep it up.
