With Love Card

 

I used this Magnolia umbrella die, Love sentiment die and heart embossing folder with a snippet of leftover patterned paper. Again, used watercolour to colour the umbrella and the sentiment for a cohesive look.

Challenges:

1. Lift Challenge #193 - partial die-cutting

Best Wishes Card

 Using flower die and patchwork embossing folder, made this card based on Lift Challenge which requires partial die-cutting. The flower was die-cut from watercolour paper, then coloured it using the aqua brush and Mijello watercolour.

Challenges:

1. Lift Challenge #193 - partial die-cutting

Poppy Flower

 

Colour the poppy image with watercolour pencils. Added blue shade around the flower image to 'ground' the flower. Emboss the base white cardstock with Sizzix-Basic Grey 'Flower Cluster' embossing folder. I diecut the image with frame diecut. Also, took a snippet of leftover red cardstock and die-cut the larger frame for matting the flower diecut.

Challenges:

1. The Butterfly Challenge #189 - poppy and frame
2. Snippets Playground #467
