I had my whole card finished for Mojo Monday when I realized I used the same DP for last week's sketch! Aahh! So I made two! Both of them took way too long and I am not 100% happy with either of them. Here's the sketch:
And here's the first one:
This uses Tea Party DP, Sweet Stems for the flower and Always in My Thoughts for the sentiment. The image is stamped on vellum cardstock in Stazon, then colored on the back with markers. I realize I did not do the side panel quite right--this whole card was a comedy of errors. It was finally put together with Tombow glue because I ripped it apart so many times there was no place left to tape!
And the second:
I NEVER put flowers on my cards--well, hardly ever--because of the bulk, but I finally broke down and got some Pretties. I dyed this one with Baja Breeze ink and added some Not Quite Navy with a paintbrush, although you can't really tell in the photo. The sentiment on this one is a tad bit crooked; it was stamped in Baja Breeze and I colored the word "friend" with my black marker. After these, my stamp table is being cleaned up for the day!!!

I, too, like the 1st one. The colors are so soft and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW. I love the way you used the vellum :)
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards!
ReplyDeleteOk...I guess I'm the strange one...but I love the second one best! Then again...I've never been one for soft pastel colors either.

The mojo card is so delightful, makes me smile. Love the paper and the pretty little flowers and ribbon!
Your second card is stunning. Has such an elegant look...gorgeous paper and color combo!

We are expecting MORE snow this weekend so seeing these nice spring colors was GREAT - Both cards are wonderful but I think I'd vote for the first one.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are exquisite LeAnne! WOW. Love the tea party paper on the first one - stalking Mr. Brown to get mine - and the primas and colors on the other one are just to die for! Gorgeous! ~chris
ReplyDeletebeautiful card. I just ordered this stamp set so I can't wait to get it. I need to update my blog when I get a minute. I have been scrapbooking with stampin' up kits lately. I'm gonna have to get a copy of the US catty :) can't wait to see the new goodies in there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great couple of cards LeAnne! Love the colored flower on your 2nd one and the pretty spring colors on the first!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, your cards are so pretty!! I really like the 1st one the colors are so bright and springy!!!! The 2nd ones color combination is great!

ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful! I am LMHO at your "comedy of errors!" card! I love the use of the vellum on that one!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards, LeAnne. I participated in Mojo Monday for the first time today. (Wednesday!) Anyway, I love the way you used the vellum and I love your sense of humor!
