This one is the most recent addition to my "Use All of My Stash" collection. The pattern layer is from a DCWV Mat Stack called The Old World. The large embellishment is a die that I have had for a long time but could not think of a way to use. It is from Spellbinders called Comtemporary Diamonds. Thank You is a two word die also from Spellbinders. Instead of using a ready made card I cut the card base from heavy card stock and really love the solidity it gives to the card.
This next card is from a digital stamp I bought for a Kit and Klowder alcohol ink marker coloring lesson. I'm really proud of the progress I have been making with my coloring since I got my jewelers binoculars.
Next is a set of cards I made with an embossing folder I was given by one of my card class members. It is so elegant and requires very little work to make a "send" worthy card. ( sorry the picture is sideways. I couldn't get it to turn)
This next to the last offering for today are card fronts made by using a Gelli Plate and several Memento Ink colors. The detail is hard to see because the colors, even though I thought they were dark, were fairly light. I plan to try again with Tim Holtz inks which were used in the demonstration I watched that inspired me to try this technique. I also was not able to achieve a smooth finish and realized, right at the end, that my brayer does not have a smooth finish. I guess I'll have to get a new one that is smooth. Oh woe is me I'll have to shop for more craft supplies. LOL
And last is the watercolored waterfall I tried after watching the Art Impressions Watercolor Wednesday offering for this week. I'm pleased with how it turned out with the exception of the sky which I overdid. As usual. I am very pleased with the water pool at the bottom of the fall though. Patted myself on the back for that !
I hope you enjoyed seeing my cards as I enjoyed making them and hope they inspire others to persevere despite imperfection.
