I am very pleased to be a guest in a crafty collaboration called Create Together with Marcie Sharp on her blog today. She just happens to be my very talented daughter and has been crafting for many years - I'm so very proud of her crafty accomplishments!!
Marcie sent me this beautiful inspiration photo for us to work with - I absolutely fell in love with it!
I definitely used the colours and glitter to create my card and I pulled out my Vintage Linens Stamp Set by Papertrey Ink (again - I can't get enough of those flowers!)
Embossing the images with white embossing powder is always a great beginning when water colouring. The watercolours stay where you put them - within reason of course - and the end result is so pretty!
I die cut the images after embossing and watercoloured with my Zig Real Brush Markers. I added some gold glitter in the middle with a gold Wink of Stella pen.
Using Mama Elephant Madison Avenue Frame Tags Creative Cuts (what a long name……) and DCWV Mat Stack glitter brights & neutrals, I die cut a frame from the blue glitter cardstock. I also die cut the frame using the gorgeous Papertrey Ink Gold Luxe Foil Patterned Paper Collection. - it is so shiny and…..Gold!!
I inlaid the middle panel of gold stripe into the blue glitter frame and adhered it to my white cardstock card base.
I stamped the sentiment, from Papertrey Ink Choose Joy stamp set onto the die cut tag and popped it up onto the gold striped cardstock. I popped up the flowers and added ribbon and some pretty gold glitter baubles to finish my creation.
Thank you for visiting today - and get out those water-colours and play!!
Love the gold and blue accents!!! Stunning work, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI love this card! Such a pretty interpretation of the inspiration picture. Thank you so much for cardmaking "with" me!
ReplyDeleteBonnie what a pretty card for the inspiration! I love those flowers too, why haven't I bought them yet--lol! You tie the most perfect bows. I could use a few lessons. Isn't it great that MRcie started doing Create with Me?
ReplyDeleteI have just come over forum the PTI Forum to agree with you about the spelling of Saviour....I cannot, ever, use that spelling - already have one verse with it and will never use it....I do hope that the rest of the series gives us useable words....although I am a calligrapher and can write any word I want where I want (and do)....I do have a little feeling that they could have offered 'our' spelling as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card - I, too, love the Vintage Linens - love your colouring....much prefer the card above with your peonies than the PTI version.
Blessings to you and yours from Northern Ireland
