Bringing back colors...

Hello my friends, I am back with two more cards to share. With so many challenges out there, I always end up making more than one card :) So my first card...

To make this card, I lightly inked the upper half of the card base with inks. Then I added some tone on tone dots using (Inkadinkadoo - dots n flourishes set) and the eraser on a pencil. I lightly drew a circle to match the sketch with a pencil, this was my guideline to stamp the flowers (from PTI - Ruby reprise set) and leaves (from Garden set from Michael's). The pink flower were stamped on another card stock n fuzzy cut.  I also made these embossed sentiment banners on vellum (using Paper sweeties - You make me smile set). All the elements were adhered using foam dots n glue dots :)
Inks used are - Hero Arts - butter bar, bubble gum and soft granite.

I was inspired by the following challenges to create this card -

   


Here is a look into my second card for today :)
To make the second card, I took a panel of white card stock n sis some inking to create rainbow colors. I also added a splatter of water over this. Then I embossed the doilies (from Martha Stewart Doilies set) using Whisper Pearl embossing powder n Versamark ink. Then I cut the panel into 3 to match the sketch. Additionally I embossed a flower (from Michael's Garden set) on vellum and also cut out two feathers in vellum (using MFT dies - Thank you my friend, u r so very special). I adhered all the elements on card base and stamped the sentiment (from Martha Stewart sentiment set)
Inks used are - Hero arts - Raspberry jam, Chalk poppy, Tim Holtz distress inks - Mustard seed, barn door, tumbled glass, chipped sapphire, Memento - Grape jelly.

My second card is inspired by the following challenges -
2. Freshly made sketches #124 (I rotated the sketch)

  14. I am in complete awe of your talent and creativity! These cards are jaw dropping gorgeous! I love the bold pastel colors of the first card and your perfect bleding technqiue! The embossed banners atop the yellow made me think of the rays of the sun, nourishing the pretty blossoms!

    Your inking technique on the second card is fantabulous (yep, I'm sure that is a real word in some dictionary, somewhere!!!). Embossing the doily image on the inked panels is sheer creative genius!

    Thrilled to pieces to see your cards rocking the gallery at the Card Concept Challenge!
