Happy Weekend! Hope you are enjoying it your way. We are snuggling in tonight with more cold weather and had an early dinner of soft tacos, black beans, Spanish rice and sliced avocado. I'm stuffed, so good!
For my design layout, I used the current challenge sketch at Cheerful Sketches.
To color my focal image rose, I smooshed my Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral, Red Barn and Fired Brick ink pads onto my craft sheet, sprayed a bit of water and used them to watercolor. I also scribbled some Mowed Lawn Distress Crayon onto the craft sheet and with a damp brush, painted the stem. Then came the fun part, loading up my small round brush with ink and making splatters. I never do that because I'm a wimp about it, but not anymore, hahaha! Big step for me!😄My new favorite technique!😄
The back of the card has more of the DCWV paper and I've stamped a Kaiserkraft heart directly on it, then added another Kaiserkraft siggie image stamped with the DO Barn Door, heat-embossed, then fussy cut with deco scissors.
MY CHALLENGE PLAYLIST:
-I used Alex Siberia's Dreamy Rose digital image
-Paint splattering and white-heat-embossing are my fave techniques
-I used Red and Green from the Theme Colors
I used the inspiration board this time for the color red
Watercoloring using Distress Oxides and Crayons
I took inspiration from the roses, colors and heart shape
Dies Used: Spellbinders Circles, Scalloped Circles, Hearts and Scalloped Hearts (inside card)
Took inspiration from colors, hearts, rose
Dies Used: Spellbinders Circles, Scalloped Circles, Hearts and Scalloped Hearts (inside card)

Beautiful, Aimslee! Lots of details and great use of the inks. Spatters are something I love to see but don't do either. I must try it more. Thanks for sharing at 613 Avenue Create's "Valentine" Challenge.
ReplyDeleteAimeslee: What a fantastic LOVE card for your mother-in-law/love! Repeating the rose stamp in various ways is a great technique and makes use of the sketch too! Thanks for participating at MTTC and leaving us comments on recent posts after a short break! We appreciate the support! - Becca/DT

This is so very pretty. I bet she saves all your cards! I had to rush and get cards done for my grandsons. I thought I had kids' Valentine's cards, but I ended up only having feminine ones. I found two different ones with monster trucks on them. I just had to print...so easy! On to visit what I've missed.
ReplyDeleteLovely card and so much detail on every page. So glad you joined Die Cut Divas for our February challenge to "Angle It".
ReplyDeleteSo beautifully done!! Thanks for joining in the fun with us this February at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteHi Aimeslee,
ReplyDeleteanother gorgeous creation and such a beautiful design also.
Love your background you have created with that stamp and the colours are wonderful.

Thank you for joining the MAWTT Challenge once more.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT

ReplyDeleteAimeslee, I 💗 this card! Your MIL is a lucky lady!!! Thank you for your continued support at the Colorful Options Challenge. Cheers, Makira CO DT
ReplyDeleteYour dinner sounds delicious Aimeslee. We spent the day doing some demo in the spare bedroom to fix up my art space, and we were tired enough to throw in a frozen pizza (kept in the freezer as back up for just such occasions). Glad you enjoying the cherry nut cake. And glad my dad's favorite cake sounded good enough for you to make one. Smile. I am loving this pretty rose card for your MIL. Thanks for sharing it with us at Try It On Tuesday. It's perfect for the All Loved Up. I bet your MIL will love it. Have a great start to the new week. Hugs-Erika
