I am popping in quickly to post a couple of cards that have been sitting on my desk, patiently awaiting their turn to post--the challenge is ending for one of the cards, so I am posting tonight.
My first card is inspired by the lovely Muse card made by my friend Tracey for Muse Challenge #158.
I was inspired by Tracey's white embossing, water coloring, the shape of the petals/leaves of her stamp, and her CAS design.
I decided to use Mama Elephant Tree Friends because the tree top kind of reminded me of the flower cluster on Tracey's card. I love how delicate this tree top is, and water colored it with a variety of pink Distress Inks.
I am also entering this card at Addicted to CAS #84: Delicate.
This is the first time I am playing along with a yummy challenge...Cupcake Inspirations #352. They are sponsored by Verve, so I decided to pull out some Verve stamps to play along.
The inspiration is a color challenge, and I have used Ripe Avocado paper for the 'awesome' die cut, which I stacked 4 high, and WPlus9 Mojito and Wild Mango inks.
I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #186: Anything Goes.
Thanks for Visiting
I do love the tree card, gorgeous embossing and watercolouring x

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blossom filled tree, Joyce. I'd love one of those in my yard. The embossed background sets off your flowers on the second card beautifully.

Two fabulous cards...I love how you transformed that tree into such a beautiful pink flower, simply gorgeous! And your second with those sweet orange flowers is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the idea to colour the leaves and flowers of the tree in pink, Joyce - it really looks great - it must have taken you some time to do it, but it was worth all the effort!!! I like the sentiment you choose to go with the tree!!!! Your second card is so beautiful with the sweet little flowers and the wonderful texture of the bg!!!! Two lovely cards!!!!
