We're having a "Just one word" challenge over at the Alphabet challenge, and thinking ahead for once, I picked a floral heart from SheepSkiDesigns a while ago. I had no image like this in my stash yet, and thought it would look cute to colour and use for the birthday in August. And with the empty space, it should be possible for me to fit a word.
The colouring is self-explanatory: I used coloured pencils to fill the blooms with colour. I then shaprened my pens and used the sharpening remains to create the blurry background.
In the middle of the heart, I used golden stickers to place "Mom" and her round birthday.
Once all was done, I placed the motif on a shimmering dark brown paper, which is not very visible from the pictures. To top it off, I added a couple of tiny white pearls here and there.
And after a wonderful family day trip with lunch and just spending some time together, here's to new adventures!
challenges:
- 613 avenue create: ATG
- a bit more time to craft: ATG
- a place to start: favourite crafting style (I'd say my style is paper crafting, and within that, creating personalized cards for different occasions. I'll usually go with a central motif and work my way around it to finish everything off with a background paper and sprinkle everything with tiny white pearls. Always tiny white pearls.)

ReplyDeleteA pretty card and a lovely picture. Thanks for visiting my blog. If you copy and paste this link it shows you the technique I used in embossing the way I did on my card. Start at 3:10 and then you can go to 7:04 where you see that she did her alphabet letters like I did but I did it easier by making a rectangle piece to emboss with the powder and then die cut my alphabet letters out. It's really easy. I started following your blog as of now, too. Here is the link to the youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWmdVFZV1C0
