On Splitcoaststampers.com, there is a group of us who take part in a Monthly Challenge. Each of us prepares a kit to send to the rest of the members and then we create a card or two or three depending on the supplies sent. We then post on the Monthly Challenge thread so we can see what the others have created. It's been a little while since I've had the chance to play but finally here is my card for this mon
th.
Lazorkey (Karen) was our hostess this month. Everything is from A-Muse Studio - paper, stamped image and ribbon. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. The sentiment is from Stampin Up - Cute Converse. The cardstock is Stampin Up, Bordering Blue and the Designer Paper is My Minds Eye - Playdate.
To give the flowers some depth, I used my Copic markers to give them some shading using YR61, YR65, YR04, and YR09. Then I used my Zip black pen to color in the black stamens to give them more boldness. The leaves are from Nestabilities and the brads from my stash.
I sure hope that I'll get to play again next month.
What a lovely colourful card!!

This is a knock out card, Maggie! I love the beautiful and deeply bold yellows on the flowers. Adding the black to the stamens is a great touch too. Very pretty!

Beautiful card! I love the bright colors you used on the flowers against the polka dot background. Super pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteYour coloring of the flowers is amazing. The shading is so perfect. That sounds like a fun group to participate in. It is always fun to see how differently supplies are used! Summer is here in NYC 80+ degrees. Hard to come in!
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful! I love how you colored the flowers, they make such a bold statement!
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how gorgeous this card is. I wish I could colour that well.
