To celebrate World Card Making Day, I am participating in Kathryn's Blog Hop of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from All Around the World to share a card that I have made today (or recently). Kathryn has also challenged us to post this card within a week to someone special, as we all love to receive a big paper hug in the mail. I couldn't agree more.
I love the wildflower "Meadow Dies" and have had some fun cutting lots of wildflowers from various papers, and creating little montages with them, layered over an embossed panel. This uses the "Leaf Fall" Embossing Folder. You can get endless variations of the flowers using patterned papers, and 3 stems is enough. I posted back in April with my tip on how to paint the wildflowers

They look great on both white or vanilla. I do love the kraft card stems in there too.
this one uses the Hive and Eucalyptus Embossing Folders
I have already posted a bunch of cards this week- my friendly Post Mistress - Treena - always keeps the pretty stamps aside for me, so this month they are all roses stamps. These two cards will go out in the next week in response to Kathryn's request. I hope you get some cards created and posted too, and that your letterbox is flooded with happy mail.
Next on the hop is Bronwyn, I can 't wait to see what fabulous creation she has made for World Card Making Day.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
Your cards are both so pretty! I love the mix of watercoloured blooms, and ones cropped from DSP. Your layering is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to colour in the flowers with watercoloring - the colours blend so well together. Thanks for joining the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteYou really have created some magic with water coloured blooms, Liz. Very pretty and bound to cheer someone's day.
ReplyDeleteI love the white embossed backgrounds behind your beautiful subtly coloured sprigs of foliage. Gorgeous way to show off the lovely die-cuts.

Two delightful cards. I love your colouring of the wildflowers. Thanks for showing your colouring process. Xxx
ReplyDeleteOh all your cards are so glorious!! I love the leaf fall folder with these dies. So wonderful!! Julia.
ReplyDeleteI really love what you have done to create your cards. I love the quiet meadow dies too and are one of my go to dies. I love the water colour treatment you have done to create the gorgeous colour on the paper before cutting out the wildflowers. Great backgrounds also before laying on your flowers and sentiment. Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteI love the pairing of the embossed backgrounds and your beautifully watercoloured flower silhouettes. Stunning card. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful embossed background and the wonderfully watercoloured silhouettes are perfect for this card. Well done. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
