Week 3 Day 2 A

#3
I made a second card using the opening idea from today's video. I added some real sand and a red flag to the sand castle. There is a place inside where a sentiment can go and not show when closed.

Boy, Jennifer makes this look easy. Do I ever need a LOT of practice and the right color inks. This is a fun card to make.

Week 3 Day 1

# 1
I stamped the bkgd with a wood grain stamp. I used cork behind the sentiment. I also used black instead of white as a neutral as I wanted the center to look like a hole in the tree. I used colored pencils to color in the bird, branch and berries and added with 3-D dots.

Week 2 days 3 & 4

This card goes for both day 3 and day 4 because I paid attention to contrast with my paper patterns and their sizes and I also made my embellishment by starting with all white flowers . I used papers from a 6 X 6 Mini Deck from Cosmo Cricket--"Garden Variety".
The really dark paper is green, not black as it looks in this picture.

Usually I don't know where a paper comes from as I have them in drawers by color and out of their original packaging. The Mini Decks I usually keep together.

Week 2 Day 2

I heat embossed the flowers and then painted them with distress inks. I think I'll go back and add some faux stitching around the white part of the card.
