Welcome
While I was house sitting in August, I played with an assortment of Lindy's Mica Powders, and this was the second 'print' off the original, onto a piece of mixed media paper.
I then used a stencil that I had won from Allsorts Challenge over it
I split this down the middle, and made two cards from it

One I mounted on orange cards stock, and then a wonderful rich cream base

The other I mounted against red card stock. On both cards I embossed the sentiment in gold and mounted it over the coloured base card

Initially the white and yellow ink I used to stencil the flowers was not very clear,

So I added some gold and white metallic rub, and outlined the petals and centre with matching pens to add to the definition

The inside of both cards has a simple strip of washi tape added.

A lovely result Maxine, and such a pretty background colour
ReplyDeleteI do love a Daisy and these look super onto the muted green background Maxine and so nice to see the stencil has come in useful, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge this week.

how smart to do this on a Paper big enough to make two cards. Your details on the daisy stencil are amazing and bring it to life beautifully. The way you finished each one off with orange and red worked so well with the colors you used in the base piece! Very nice indeed. Thanks for visiting me today. It reminds me to come over and visit you! Our sweet Cairn Terrier of almost 14 years has been diagnosed with cancer. She waxes and wanes right now, but really enjoys many activities and wags her tail at us! So we are committed to giving her the best quality time that she may have left. But it bears on my mind and requires a great deal of work--so I'm not out visiting like I used to do. But just seeing your name somehow is such an encouragement. Thank you so much for being a blog buddy!
ReplyDeleteClever, making two cards from one art piece. Very well done. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove, Hugs and Blessings
Beautiful card and love the amazing colours. ♥
ReplyDeleteA great result and getting the two cards worked so well. I have been experimenting with doing the two-fer as well. CarolG
ReplyDeleteI really like this card as its unusual...well done! I might try this for myself!
ReplyDeleteGreat job of creating two cards from one panel. The outlining of the stenciled images was a good thought. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More! Apologies for the late comment.
