Here's my card for this week's Muse: ChristmasVisions where DT Member Chriss gave us this cool inspiration:
I just think Chriss' penguins are absolutely awesome! And I knew that despite my recent attempts with watercolour, that I was not up to hand drawing and colouring penguins. All my penguin stamps are very whimsical, and I did want to try to achieve a similar feel to Chriss' card so I had to think of something else.
I focused on Chriss'
-watercolour technique. Same background wash technique as for this card.
-grey-ish focal image of a group (stretching too far??)
-red and black sentiment
I used:
-KGT
-Tim Holtz Tall Trees Pine Stamp
-Papertrey 'Tis the Season Sentiment
I am also linking up to Simon's Wednesday Challenge : For a Guy (featuring Tim Holtz).
Love your take on the MCV inspiration. The tall greyish trees are just perfect and I love your soft water coloured background.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Ardyth, love how the sentiment works with the beautiful trees! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!

ReplyDeleteAwesome take on the photo with the peaceful trees! The sentiment is going to be my go to saying this Christmas! I might even use it for a birthday, lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat job 'thinking of something else'. The trees definitely are an awesome fill-in for the penguins.as they seem to have a bit of a modern art look!
ReplyDeleteYou most definitely captured the feel of Chriss's penguins with those tall, contemporary trees, Ardyth ... fabulous with the soft background wash ... love the two tone sentiment! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)
