A Flower for Many!

Hello All,

I was walking the other day and found myself looking around at the the few trees that are already full of blossom. This made me think of the 'Blossom' challenge at CASology. I noted the colours-a pale pink blossom surrounded by a baby blue sky and I had the idea of using these colours to make a card for this challenge.
That afternoon I clocked a few photo challenges and these inspired me to get out my water colours and create this card:


I have used all Uniko stamps here. I embossed the flower in pink then water coloured it in pink on the outer petals. I then mixed this pink with some white paint for this inner petals. My wash surrounding the flower was my attempt to represent the sky I saw whilst walking.

I will enter this into the following challenges:

CASology-blossom
Simon Says Wednesday-the pink roses gave me the colours.
Dazzling Diva-again the 2 colours of pink roses are represented in my card.
Fusion-large pink flowers-my second entry but this time I went more CAS and only went with the pink flowers

Time to Celebrate

The weekend is here at last!

Here is my card for you today...can you guess what photos inspired it??


Guessed?

Here we go:


     


Vintage pocket clock showing five to twelve. Happy New Year 2015!

I saw these 2 photos and knew I wanted to create something for both of them. I wasn't going to make one card until I saw this card from Michele who is GD at CAS(E) this sketch this week. It was her use of the clock that inspired me to combine these 2 photos using the sketch this week. Thank you Michele!

 I hope it is obvious which part of the photos it was that inspired me but a less obvious touch is that I used vellum as a hint to the gorgeous chiffon skirt.

Have a fun weekend x
