Goodness the mood board, or photo inspiration from Double D Color Yellow challenge just stole my heart today! I had lots of pretty greens and yellows out on my desk for another project - why not use them again?
My eyes were drawn to the bottom left photo today - but OH is that gingham calling my name, too! Maybe I'm setting myself up for second helpings? hmmm...
Armed with a few yellow, and green distress inks and a
tiny little brush I painted this pretty HoneyBee bouquet [more on this soon!] that had been white heat-embossed on watercolor cardstock.
An old favorite wonky stitched rectangle die finished the edge before mounting it on my card front, I wrapped a sentiment from this set stamped and also white heat-embossed on vellum.
I am very happy looking at all this color of summer!
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm happy looking at all of that summer prettiness too, Michele! The vellum sentiment wrap was a wonderful finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are lovely with the daisies! If I machine sewed my stitching would be wonky too! I've never used the wonky word die that is with my set of rectangles, have you?
ReplyDeletePositively breathtaking and most certainly frameable. The detail on this amazing card is just incredible such beautiful colours well done you and am totally jealous of your talents.

Ohhh, I've looked at this set a few times recently and am absolutely delighted to see you bring it to life in this fantastic sunshiny yellow! You did such a beautiful job with the coloring. I've always loved a white embossed outline with watercolor. Gorgeous, Michele! Oh, and thank you for playing with us at Double D!
ReplyDeleteThis is so soft and pretty, I love it. I spent yesterday afternoon colouring 3 cards. One with coloured pencils and 2 with watercolour onto a heat embossed image. Mine look very different of course, but it seems strange to have recently been doing the same thing as you. I must say, I found it a very therapeutic process. It calms me down. I hope it has that effect on you too xx
ReplyDeleteSo sweet Michele, and definitely the Summery feel I need on this cool morning!
