Next up is my card for the February
Card Chain Challenge
where today is reveal day. My card went to Alice in Finland this time. As
always we are given a variety of themes/challenges to choose from and I went
with the colors this time.
I love these colors and knew right away it's what I wanted to choose. I
also got a bit inspired by the sketch so I added my image panel at an
angle although I'm not sure I like it that way.
The image is new to me from a set by Aall and Create Don't Stop Me Now. I colored with
zig clean color markers. I added
some diluted distress ink onto the background then stamped just the 2
flowers from the same image onto the top right corner. Sentiment is a
quote from Tim Holtz'
Small Talk sticker sentiment book.
My plan was to tie some twine onto the staple (twine was another option
from the February challenge) but it seemed out of place to my eye so I
took it off again and added sticky rhinestones in sky blue instead. I
haven't heard yet from Alice but hopefully she received the card and likes
it.
Still a little time yet to join in the March card chain challenge if you
like to sign up. You do need to be willing to make and mail a card to one
other participant (the person who signed up before you) and you will
receive one card from another participant. All the details can be found
here.
I plan to share the above card here:
- C.R.A.F.T. - Female
- Everybody-Art-Challenge - Favorite Colors (these are some of my favorites)
- Passion For Markers Challenge - Fabulous Florals
- Simon Says Stamp - AG
- We Love 2 Create - Something creative/mixed media
- Word Art Wednesdays - AG
The choice of bunnies is always a good one for a spring card and I think the colors are so lovely on this card. Beautiful mix of pastels for a spring feel. Also, I do like the Aall&Create card design, i have these stamps too, and I like how you added some flowers in the top right corner too to fill out the panel. Beautiful!

Beide Karten sind wunderschön geworden. Bei der ersten leibe ich die zarte Blumenwiese und bei der zweiten das dekorierte Fahrrad. Ich mag so etwas immer sehr, wenn ich in einem Garten ein altes Fahhrad sehen, welches zu Dekozwecken benutzt wird.

Thank you for taking part in the current Everybody Art Challenge with your second card. The picture is so very beautiful. I love decorated bikes wherever I see them. And the colors you used are truly the colors of spring. Your background is great for showcasing this bike and I love the idea of stamping some flowers on the top right edge.
ReplyDeleteThe other card is so great too. It seems like these bunnies are really watching this bee with joy. It's really a great spring scene. And a wonderful design.
Hugs Uschi
