Post 229: Floral Birthday Card

Hi folks!

How've you been? I haven't been feeling too good lately, I think it may be the flu. So have less energy to sit and create. Hopefully, it will get better in a couple of days. For now, I'd like to share a floral birthday card I made a couple of days back but wasn't able to blog about. This is a standard A2 sized top folding card. This card was my way of salvaging a card panel that I wasn't entirely happy with. I started out thinking it will be a CAS card but as the stamping progressed, I wasn't happy with the design, so I decided to stamp all over the panel and create a flowery themed card instead. I used a mix of blue and green Ranger inkpads I had (sorry don't remember which ones I used exactly), colored in with some pencil colors and in the end added a few details with a couple of zig markers. Added a few watercolored and die cut butterflies as well. The sentiment is stamped on a tag that's been watercolored and tied with some twine.

Post 228: Floral Card

Hi friends :)

How are you this saturday afternoon? I hope your weekend is going well. Today, I'd like to share a floral card I created with a new altenew stamp I recently bought. Mum and I were crafting together last night, just for fun and she water colored the floral images with the new gansai tambi colors I bought and then in the morning, I added some details with pencil colors, I do not have the fancy prisma or polychromos pencils, so just used the Derwent ones which I've had for ages but not used. My sister gifted them to me when I was in school :) Fussy cut them and created a background water color wash for the floral arrangement, created some splatter, added some thread for interest and texture and adhered the floral arrangement. In the end, added a few clear drops and some details with a white gel pen.
