Hobbies

 Hello, thanks for pooping by. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. Pamela, from the design team has chosen #274 Hobbies.  To see the inspiring creations from the other design team memebrs, please visit the blog. 

For my card, I began with a white 6" sq. card. I was inspired by the stamp set and a project in a magazine. All the stamps are from a stamps set - Crafting with your Friends. in Creative Stamping # 91. I added a black mat, the added a white back panel.  I then cut a smaller piece of black and white watercolour  to form the centre panel. I added a number of colours directly from the ink pad onto an acrylic blog, sprayed water the stamped onto the watercolour card, which created the 'messy' art project. Once I had marked the size, I then stamped and coloured the surrounding art materials. The art panel was added with 3d foam pads. Happy Birthday greeting added from my stash.

I added a strip of strong black ribbon to the side. I then arranged the circles to cascade, some flat and a few raised with 3d foam pads. I added a stamped image fom my stash, added to a black mat. 

A Splash of Green

 

Hello, thanks for your visit. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Pamela has chosen        #272 A Splash of Green.  To see the inspirational creations by the design team, please visit the blog.

I began with a white 7 x5" card. I added a mat of yellow card. On a piece of water colour card I swooshed green and some yellow watercolours, dried it naturally, then added some stencilling with Meadow Green DI. I stamped the daffodil stamp with the printed background. On a piece of plain white card I stamped, the Golden Daffodils by Visable Image again, then painted with Prism and Zig water colour pens. I also stamped two daffodil heads again, painted, then the flowers were fussy cut and placed flat and the heads added with 3d foam pads. The sentiment was stamped from another flower sset by the same company.
