OLS 13 :Blend
Mmmm not really sure about this card for this weeks challenge at Colour me...! its not really striking is it? think its a bit blah but I had a great time coloring it I must admit!
I used a freebie stamp that has sat about for yonks in the cherry cobbler colour and then I discovered that I am much better at using a blender pen to pull out the the pink pirouette colour then watercolouring..unfortunately that took me about 6 goes before I discovered that :)It still just needed something so I highlighted all around it with an ivory promarker -when I photographed I wasn't happy so tried using a pale blue to highlight instead ....much better but unfortunately the challenge only says the above two colours hee he and as I didn't have cherry cobbler card just inked an old bit to mat it with and added the sentiment from SU bring on the cake set..squint and so had to add the strip at the bottom and honest it is straight(er)
Had so much fun colouring it decided to do a one layer in more traditional dog rose colours with a different orientation and using the blue highlight which is much lighter RL, for over at the
One Layer Simplicity which cue woed it 'blend' after all I did use a blender pen!
Thanks for taking the time to look

So pretty, and I like the softer colours - perfect for those delicate flowers.

They're both very pretty Jenni, the first one has an oriental feel to it. Xx

ReplyDeleteJenni, your cards are so NOT blah--try BEAUTIFUL instead!! Thanks so much for sharing with us over at Colour Me...! Julia
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous blossom, and I love the Asian feel to it. Both cards are lovely but I must admit to liking the first one trimmed in red the best. Quite striking! Thanks for joining us this week at Colour Me, Jenni!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your cards, Jenni, ESPECIALLY the one-layer card. When I try outlining like that, it looks like a kindergartner did it...on your card it's simply perfect. Thanks so much for sharing it with the One-Layer Simplicity Challenge!
