Here is my card based mainly on the first picture and using MFP's Huge Bloom set:

I am getting pretty lazy with my coloring so on this one I just took my TH Faded Jeans ink pad and drug it across the image. The color was a bit darker than I wanted so I thought I would try stamp etching which involves taking a fine marker and drawing in a bit more lines and shading in your image. Fun stuff!
Also entering this in the Deconstructed Sketch Challenge - DS164 since my sketch is from that lovely challenge.
Hope you will join us!
A fabulous card Nancy, I love your flower and the gingham and dots go so well together - a real country looking card.

Nancy, I love your layers on this card. It's a little bit county and so homey and wonderful. I am your newest follower, MFP DTeamie, and I hope you will follow me as well. Have a sunny day!

A very beautiful card, Nancy. I love the country feel of it. I am a country girl at heart. I like how you use the distress inks to color your image.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Nancy, and do I ever love the stamp etching. It is so fun and really changes an image.
ReplyDeleteNow those are some creative ways to use flower pots!! LOL!! Your card is absolutely stunning my friend!! Love that flower and your papers! HUGS
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your inspiration pictures. I love those terracotta pots and the ways some brilliant person has colored & used them. I was into that (with the tiny pots) for Christmas decs one year. Never brave enough to do anything with the large pots, but these are darned clever. I'm loving the way you've interpreted that into your card. Can't beat navy gingham, red dots, and denim. This is a breezy & pretty card, made me think of a late summer picnic. Of course I love the addition of the lace to dress it up. Exudes the essence of southern summer charm. I like it - LOTS! TFS & Hugs (PS...I didn't know what 'etching' was, so thanks for the info! It's lovely).
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty, and I like your etching.
ReplyDeleteLove,
