For this months Winnie and Walter - Rerun Challenge they were looking at 'In Bloom: Renee's Leaves' which unfortunately I don't have. However, you can create a project inspired by one of the cards shown by the Design Team. The one card that jumped out to me straight away is actually by Shay:
I love how the leaves are stamped and the blue water colouring is gorgeous. I also like the use of the silver and grey for the sentiment. So with all this in mind, this is what I came up with:
I hope you can see my inspiration!!! I cut a piece of water colour CS the same size as my card front, then stamped and heat embossed the leaves from 'In Bloom: Addie's Garden' in silver. I then had a lot of fun colouring the leaves and background using my Ziggies and a water brush. Once the panel was dry I adhered it to the card front. For the sentiment I carried on the silver and singular theme (similar to Shay's card) and die-cut 'hello' from some silver CS and popped it up on foam tape. A few clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh finished if off!!
I also have three other challenges I would like to enter:
The Gossip Column with Taheerah Atchia: Precious Metals (I don't usually make silver leaves but wanted to incorporate more silver as I love it on Shay's card)
Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge (Anything Goes)
Simon Says Stamp - Monday Challenge (Use Powder - I used embossing powder)
We've made it to the end of the first holiday week and the kids haven't killed each other...... yet......I have a two hour gardening job at lunchtime today so the kids are going to spend some time with my Mum. Then Max has a friend coming over to stay the night. The sun is shining for the first time this week so hopefully we can make the most of it after I wallow around in the mud pulling weeds for a while....
Take care

Sometimes I love to mess around in the mud...but not to pull leaves. I did tell you my spirit animal IA the pig, didn't I? Mud wallowing is the one thing I do well. Enough of that...can we talk about this amazing card. The silver is such a lovely change. Somehow it looks more ethereal & kind of other-worldly. It'seems delicate & bold all at the same time. Anyway, enjoy your upcoming weekend, my friend.

ReplyDeleteOh! This is so pretty. Delicate, soft and elegant. Love the white embossing and watercoloring. Just perfect! Thank you for joining us at SSS Monday Challenge Powder Power! Hugs, Macarena
ReplyDeleteThis card is fantastic! I am so impressed at the layers of dimension you achieved through the embossing that you did and the way you popped out the "hello" sentiment. I love that you made one word such a focal point of the card! This is the epitome of cute and classy and I adore the soft color palette. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteShona, your card is so lovely and I am really honoured (using your correct spelling there lol) you chose my card as your inspiration. The touches of silver are truly beautiful. Thank you so much for joining in on our Rerun challenge.
