A butterfly on a branch - birthday wishes

One of the weekly fav

at Color Throwdown

Happy Saturday and Shanna Tova everybody!

We had a lovely family gathering yesterday evening, and I spent the morning making a new card, a birthday wishes card. I used scraps of cs, both for the die cuts and for the stamping, reducing the scraps pile!

I die cut the background blue branch, using SSS Clustered Leaves die, and then I die cut from a navy blue cs with SSS Detailed Clustered die, and layered it on the blue branch. I adhered the double branch to the white basis.

I stamped and die cut the butterfly, using MFT More Brilliant Butterflies stamps and dies set (on of my FAV!), with distress oxide inks (mutard seeds, squeezed lemonade and chipped sapphire).

I die cut a small flower and small circles from a yellow cs, adhered it to the branch and above all - adhered the butterfly with foam tape.

The sentiment (SU) was stamped over a yellow cs and adhered to the basis with foam tape.

A large flower 'Get Well' card

 

Another 'Get Well' card, this time with a very large flower.

I stamped the flower in pink and dark purple inks, and the stem and leaves in greenish ink.

The sentiment is a sticker and it says in Hebrew: 'Quick Recovery'.

The Flower challenge #74 - add embellisment (plus flower/s) - I used enamel dots (they're purple, not black...) and some clear dew drops:

Butterfly one layered card in yeallow

A Winner at CAS Colours & Sketches

There's something about the simplicity of a One Layered Card that is very catching the eye. It's a style that can be very hard to use, and it is very challenging for me.

I decided to give it another try, combining it with the retiform technique.

I followed, loosely, the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches #465.

For the rectangle  I put some washi tape in a rectangle shape, and did the lines in verious hues of yellow, in the retiform technique.

I then removed the washi tape, and stamped the butterly (MFT More Brilliant Butterflies set). I stamped the setnitmet in black.

Keeping it OLC meant not adding anything more... ahhmm.. the though part, but I was able to fight the temptation!

I really love how it turned out. So springy and impressive.

A steampunk birthday card

 

The minute I saw the new challenge at Just Us Girls, I loved the colors:

I used simmilar colors a few times lately - HERE and HERE.

I thought these colors can be perfect for a masculine card. After all, masculine cards are always in need.

I also took inspiration from the sketch at Just Add Ink:

My take is a little loose one, but I think you can still see it in my card.

I die cut the gears frame and colored it with TH's distress inks (vintage photo, peacock feathers and spiced marmalade).

I also die cut the sentiment and colored it with TH's distress ink vintage photo, to match the frame.

It also goes for Little Red Wagon, which asked for Masculine.

Thanks in neutrals - a CAS card

A winner at Just Add Ink

Happy Saturday to all!

The Color Throwdown #CTD661 came up with a neutral colors, and it's quite challenging:

I used Just Add Ink #573 sketch for my card:

I used solid cs in colors of kraft, cream and black, and a dotted gray dp. I add a bit of darker tone of cream to the die cut leaves, a gray dot to the black flower's center, and a black thread to the tag with the sentiment.

I think I got the colors for this challenge, didn't I?
