Hello again, my friends! I have two cards for you today - one of them fits two challenges! LOve when that happens! Another is just for fun using the current Sketch from FMS - sadly, I think it is a little too 'distressed' for a clean and simple challenge... but I love it anyway and thought you might, too.
Peace on Earth Christmas #58 has a wonderful mood board filled with fun red and black plaid - which I totally didn't use! I zoomed right into one of the pillows in the upper right-hand corner and found a Nativity Scene which reminded me that I hadn't used this set from Unity: Reason for the Season in a very long time. I just loved the simplicity of it... so the simplicity of my water coloring seemed just the ticket...
The 'star of wonder' was stamped with gold Delicata ink, the
figures in Versafine then they were colored using a few of my CP inks and a water brush.
Thank you, POE!
Since it is a very CAS card, I'm sharing it with my friends at
I'll share the FMS Sketch that inspired my card panel below - but I went a little crazy after watching Dawn Woleslagle do her magic HERE. Nobody does it better! I used a different floral from HoneyBee: Cherry Blossoms. Then a few of my favorites from Wplus9 to 'age' things. Here is a closeup...
My cover panel was inked, stamped, aged, and cut into pieces based on this Sketch:
Then I stitched the pieces all back together again!
These are the inks I used for the Cherry Blossoms.
Pumice Stone, and Ground Espresso inks were used for stamping.
Since I've included blooms and butterflies, it seems a perfect fit for
These two cards could NOT be any different and I'll go back to the drawing board for FMS - but I have to wonder why I don't challenge myself to this style more often! What do you think? Do you like it? Or should I stick to CAS? Let me know!
Thanks for stopping by!
