This card started as a card for the current Fusion challenge - I watercoloured a panel in pinks and yellows but couldn't figure out where the big black and turquoise element should come in (my brain is fried from all the end-of-school activities, but now that school is done, I'm hoping for more time and more creativity).
Anyway, I'm happy with this simple, pretty thank you (and now thinking I will use it for a set for the piano teacher). I started by watercolouring with Kuretake Gansai Tambi and cutting the smaller of the two Hero Arts flowers from that. I cut the larger flower from a white panel and inlaid the smaller one into the bigger one. I like the 'halo' effect. I finished the flower with a sparkly Doodlebug enamel dot and added a Simon Says Stamp sentiment.
Yesterday was Struan's 16th birthday. We spent the morning getting him his G-1 driving license (learner's permit). He's pretty happy about that!
LOVE!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous CAS card Ardyth! I love your water colored flower. How fun, well maybe not so much for you, but for Struan that he got his driving permit! I've been through it with 6 boys and lets just say that I'm glad that they are all grown now and I don't have to do it anymore. lol It is a huge milestone for the kids and a start of independence. Congrats to Struan!!! Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteLove the colors of your inked flower - so soft! Great sentiment too. I really like the halo effect too.
Happy birthday to Sruan! It was also my sweet grandson Christopher's birthday too. Learner's permit. A bit scary for mom and dad, but when he can take over some of his own 'runs', you'll be so thankful! And what a pretty flower. LOVE that watercolored flower. The colors work so well together. And I like the bigger one in white. Nice font on that sentiment too. I like a good font... Have a great weekend. Bev
