I was able to make several cards this weekend for challenges--just for fun.
I am really loving all my new Altenew inks. The colors are so very pretty. I am submitting this card at PTI Make it Monday #271: A La Carte--I went back to MIM #245: Color Isolation for this card. I stamped the main bouquet image from Fresh Bouquet in black, and then filled in all the leaves and flowers with colored stamping. I filled up the rest of the card front with the image stamped in Soft Stone and left them uncolored.
I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #376: All Over Stamping and AAA Cards #81: Hello.
This big bloom from Winnie and Walter gave me ample opportunity to practice my Copic coloring skills. I was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #204 and am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.
I was inspired by the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches #205 for my next card. I used Lil Inkers Inky Flowers and colored with Copics.
Last of all--another birthday card, this one uses the free mini set PTI sent out in December.
I am entering this card at Simon Says Monday Be Square.
That's it for me today.
Thanks for Visiting
