July Greetings!
Hope all is well with you and yours.
I'm here with my inspiration make for the new challenge at MLCCB.
SUPPLY LIST:
White card stock base
Light blue SU card bottom layer
Wrapping paper scraps
Red Wausau paper
Spellbinders Hemstitch Squares die and Basic Matting Square dies
Unbranded Stitched Triangle die
Stamplorations sentiment stamps
Bluebell VF Clair ink
Promarkers
Silver Posca paint pen
White and Glitter gel pens
Red glitter dots
For my focal image, I've used a retired digital set called Silver Bell from Beccy's Place, printed on Springhill Digital card:
I used the uncolored image and colored the bell with the silver posca paint pen. The rest was colored with Promarkers. I accented the flower centers with glitter gel pens and the berries with white gel pen.
The wrapping paper scrap I used has a shimmer to it that doesn't get picked up in the photos, but it's nice in realife, which is why I used it.
I have several layers on this card, using my Spellbinders Basic Matting dies along with the Hemstitch die and the stitched triangle dies on each side as per the sketch.
Stamplorations sentiment inside and on back more of the wrapping paper scraps with a stamped and punched siggie that I colored with Promarkers.
Close-up of the coloring and glitter/shine.
Because of the bold red and hint of plaid in the paper, this will be going into my stack of guy cards for the single fellas on our list.
Come join us in the challenge!

Thanks for the visit and have a great start to July!

I like the bright bold red with the soft greyish blues as I've done here. While I usually gravitate toward the cooler analogous color combos, I sometimes like bright and soft with primary colors. I also like using Christmas colors in an unexpected way.
.The focal image features a ribbon on the bell!
I love non-traditional colours for Christmas and this is so pretty with the bell as the vase. Thanks for sharing with us at MTTCC :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, Aimeslee! Love the colors, and love your coloring. The shimmer from the background paper must be contributing so much to the festive look too! I like seeing twists on Christmas colors too, and your card does that so well. xo Anita

Your card is fabulous Aimeslee! I love the colour combination, particularly that gorgeous, vibrant red. You did a great job of interpreting the sketch, I like how you used the triangle die cuts in the background. I also like the pretty wrapping paper you used.

ReplyDeleteYour card creation with the Silver Bell digital image from Beccy's Place sounds wonderfully festive! The combination of the silver bell, colored with a Posca paint pen, and the Promarker-colored elements like flowers and berries adds a charming touch. The use of wrapping paper scraps with a subtle shimmer, along with the Hemstitch and stitched triangle dies for layering, enhances the card's visual appeal. It's sure to be a standout addition to your collection, especially suited for the single fellas on your list with its bold red and plaid accents.
