Artfully Thanks
I made this card with Sassy Stems and the sentiment is from Artfully Asian. I fooled around with it forever and am not satisfied, but it is a start. 
I'm much happier with the way this 2nd card came out. I'd like to say that this was a "quick" card. It will be quick to duplicate, but, wow, it takes hours to come up with something simple, but not too boring, KWIM?? I used Chestnut Memories Ink for the leaves and sentiment. Memories ink is my favorite waterproof ink -- but it also needs to set a few minutes, especially when used on this lovely soft watercolor paper. I used watercolor crayons to color in the image and the shadow behind the image. Matted on chocolate chip and then on vanilla cardstock. When I get some time, I think I'll make a pile of these, but may add something -- perhaps some brads in the corners?
Very pretty!! I agree, perhaps a brad or some ribbon?
ReplyDeleteYou must give me a watercolor tutorial sometime! you do such a beautiful job with them and I am clueless!!
I love the first one though both are beautiful. You are soooo creative. Wish I could be that way with cards.
ReplyDeleteI like them both but the second one with the leaves really jumps at me. You've really taken off with this lately!
ReplyDeleteJoan,
ReplyDeleteI think you are way too hard on yourself! Looking at your cards in awe every time, I don't find anything missing. Beautiful creations indeed!
So sorry to hear about your mom. Must be hard on the entire family. I do hope that things will improve for her and for you!
