Color therapy continues...

Hello my sweet friends, I am back with two more cards and I have incorporated colors yet again. It always feels good that we can incorporate so many colors into our lives through our hobby, its therapeutic :) To add on to the color note at Fascinating Friday's - Paperie Design Studio, we have featured Kimberly Wiener of Wienerhoneymooners... you can see the feature by clicking on Kimberly's Kreativity. I am a big fan of her bright, colorful n bold creations :)

So my first card is inspired by the amazing colors at Color me #8 - Color me subtle!, I love the colors they bring out in every challenge. I used the sketch at Seize the sketch #14 and since it has a flower I am playing for The Card Concept #4 - Use a floral theme. So here's my card...
To make it first I embossed a circle using my Sizzix die on the card base, then I scored within the circle with my Martha Stewart score board :). I took another panel and lightly inked it up with Distress tumbled glass and Memento Bamboo leaves, over it I added a splatter of water. On the right side of the panel I added a pattern paper (from DCWV - Basics Stack) to match the color in the challenge. On this panel I stamped the sentiment (from Martha Stewart set). I heat embossed a flower (from Garden set - Michael's) on a vellum using Versamark ink, Whisper - opaque embossing powder and adhered it to this panel, I added a ribbon n a knot on the panel and adhered it on the card base with foam dots. To finish the card, I added some more pearls :)
  


My second card was inspired by the theme at CASology Week 83- JUMP, the sketch at CAS(E) this sketch #65 , the colors at Color Q #229 and Seize the birthday - Anything Goes with a topping of heart. So here's my card...
I made a mask for the landscape by hand drawing n fuzzy cutting it. Then, I inked it up. I hand drew the springs to match the sketch and did some stamping with leaves n mushroom using (Recollections hello friend set), Inks used are a mix of hero arts n Memento. I stamped the hedge hog on another piece of paper, colored n fuzzy cut it. Then I adhered it on the card base and hand drew the dash lines to show him jumping over the springs :)

  18. Two great cards, Deepti! I agree, getting into cardmaking has completely changed how I feel about colors, it's so eye-opening, and color challenges always force me out of my comfort zone and make me push myself to do what I wouldn't have done on my own. How perfect is that little guy for the jumping cue card and all three challenges? So cute! Love your Colour Me...! entry - the colors really stand out against your white-but-never-plain background, thanks for playing again this week at Colour Me....! You just keep wow-ing us! :)
