Having finished the inky blending process I flicked and spritzed some perfect
pearls onto the stenciled panel before slicing into 4 sections for added detail.
The 'sending' word die is from Simon Says Stamp, with the Easter Wishes from
Uniko. I thought the pinked circle of vellum (from Paper Smooches) gave a broken
egg 'feel' ... yeah??? To finish a few enamel dots and gems.
This one uses the STAMPlorations Bubble Stencil, again inked with distress inks
and once finished I went over the area again with the same inks to cover the white
areas but still maintain the stenciled look. Another spritzing of water and perfect pearls.
A strip of glitter paper breaks the 2 halves of the design although I feel it's too stark.
The eggs and sentiment are from Clearly Besotted - In Stitches II with the eggs
heat-embossed and coloured using more Distress ink.
I don't know why you aren't happy with them - they're both fabulous! Love love the colour combo. Happy happy Easter x

Can I see see why you're unhappy with them - NO! Fabulous bright colours and I love the panels on the first one and the stencilled background on the second.
ReplyDeleteThese cards beautiful! I love the mix of colours and those circle dies are ones that I need to get in my stash. I also love how you used the eggs on the second card they match the background perfectly. I do know how you feel though when we make cards that don't always tickle our fancy but would certainly make someone very happy to receive. xox
