Layers of Flowers

I did some no line colouring with Daniel Smith watercolour a couple of weeks back. Thank you Kristina at lachristanel design for the colour inspiration.

Now time to put them on a card. I die cut them and decided I needed to layer them if I wanted them all on one card.

So another gatefold card, this time with a middle layer.

Here you can see the middle layer, as well as more leaves on the back layer.

Here you can see it opening and closing ...

This is how it looks folded flat to go in the envelope.

Flowers

Trying my hand a no line watercolouring for The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. 

I wanted to have a flower pot, so I used one of the vases from Versatile Vases, only adding some C1 Copics for shadows, but embossing it to give texture.

The "wood table" is patterned paper from the Essential Rock Collection.

Black and White Contrast

When creating black and white cards the first thought I had was "contrast" - not only black and white, but also outline and solid. The Altenew Wallpaper Art Stamp was the first that came to mind. Love the mix of solid and outline leaves.

As I was entering a one layer challenge, I had to paint the black at the bottom.  I had no Copic Black, so tried with the Bold Pitt Artist Pen, but it was not black enough. So I then used some Memento Black refill ink ... put a few drops on my craft sheet and painted with it.

The "fabulous" was not straight, so I had to stamp a banner! Thought it would look odd on a one layer card, so trimmed the panel and mounted it on another card.

Version 3 : I started again and got the sentiment straight, but stamped an extra flower and popped it up on foam.
