Happy Good FriYay and Passover, everyone. Hoping we're all looking forward to a long holiday weekend. Time for a new Festive Fridays challenge at Outlawz. We are sponsored this month by LeighSBDesigns and I've used her digital image Daisy Bee.
I created an Easter card for my design team sample make. I used SU card stock for my base and mat. The background was created by me on white Springhill Digital card by hand stamping an Impression Obsession Cover A Card background Clouds stamp with a very light blue Memento ink, then ink blending a darker VF-Clair blue onto it, then yellow ink on the whiter parts of the clouds to show the morning sun breaking through. VERY pleased with these results. I wanted a dramatic morning sky. I cut some khaki scrap card with a grass die and a photo corner die. I hand stamped Hero Arts sentiments over the sunshine with Versafine Clair.
Here are our current challenge themes. I went with Thinking of You.
My design layout was inspired by this Splitcoaststampers sketch.
My focal image was printed out on white Springhill Digital card, then fussy cut. I colored the outer edge with a Khaki Promarker and the underfoliage with green. I colored all the flower centers with purple. Then I very lightly stippled Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on the daisies, building up slowly in areas. I then applied clear Wink of Stella to all the daisy centers, the large daisy and the bee.
The inside of the card has a stamped Cornish Heritage Farms sentiment. On the right is an overhead shot showing my color coordination. It's a bit dark, sorry, but it's just the purple card stock on back with a stamped siggie.
Here are close-ups. On left showing detail of the sentiment and background stamping/ink blending. On right is detail of the glitter and shimmer added to the flower centers, the large daisy and the bee.
And final view. Thanks for visiting me and have a blessed day, xoxo.
