WPlus9 Monday Mood Board #10 and a Card Set





I made a card for the WPlus9 Monday Mood board #10.  I was inspired by the colors, and what looked to me like water coloring.  I used a technique shown here to create a pattern with my WPlus9 Quilt Prints stamp set.  I used a water brush and my Inktense pencils.  My colors came out much darker and bolder than I planned--I was going for a softer look, but that is not what happened.  At any rate, the board did still inspire my card, even if it is hard to tell from the final product.



I am also submitting this card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Birthday Bash challenge.


I made a card set based on this card I posted earlier in the week.  The original was cased from Tracey's card here.  I had fun just picking color trios that looked nice together.  I was on Facebook with Tracey, and she was also giving me color ideas.  I used one stamp from Modern Basics for all the focal points, various sentiments from Framed Out, a Tremendous Tag Die Cut, Twine, and the Picnic Plaid Impression Plate on all of the cards.


Orange Zest/Limeade Ice/Hibiscus Burst    Baja Breeze/Scarlet Jewel/Ocean Tides




Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist   Kraft/Terracotta Tile/Garden Green
Hawaiian Shores/Orange Zest/Hibiscus Burst    Winter Wisteria/Blueberry Sky/Royal Velvet

I used a stamp from Boutique Accessories to package the cards together.




Here is the final package.  Tracey got this really cool die from Laurie Wilison that lets you use your card to decorate your gift bag.  She was kind enough to send me some die cuts, as I do not have that die (yet).





Thanks for Visiting
