Good morning my friends. Today we have a colour hop and I decided to play with the One Sheet Wonder technique as well.
I saw a fabulous video on Facebook the other day and thought I could try to make a few cards . So a shout out to ... Sue's Paper Creations. She used the Avant-Garden stamp set but I pulled out the Awesomely Artistic and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlets. Thanks for the inspiration.
Let's see how we did. Our colours for today are....
So away we go.
I stamped all the way around the edge of a piece of 8-1/2 x 11 Whisper White, first with Blushing Bride and then Soft Sky. I then filled in some spots with the Sahara Sand using the Dots from the stamp set. Once I was happy I cut this piece in half and then in half again. Each piece was trimmed along the length and the width just about 3/8", making the art piece 5-1/4 x 3-7/8.
Hang onto those strips as you can put them to use later.
I made two cards with Blushing Bride as the card base and two with the Soft Sky. Then I cut out some beautiful dragonflies with the Blushing Bride Glimmer paper. I choose a few sentiments to stamp on each card. I will share those sets at the end of my post.
Here is a picture of all four cards...I think they turned out pretty good. I hope you like them.
Just few sequins or enamel embellishments and these were done. I now have another idea using a piece of DSP , we'll see how that turns out.
Now with the strips that I cut off, I attached them inside the card. Sue did that and put one on the envelope. Let's take a look.
And just for fun.....
I am really looking forward to the rest of the hop. These ladies always deliver , have fun .
