Hello!
As promised, I'm back with some new cards. I have made two cards for
Runway Inspired Challenge #52 where the inspiration is a gorgeous dress by Dennis Basso.
The dress made me think of watercolours. The first card I made was directly inspired by the splashes of pastels. This was a bit of an experiment. I quite like the effect of the black and white with splashes of colour.
Stamps are Janes Doodles Pretty Peonies and Simon Says Stamp Sketchy Banners. Colours are Distress Ink Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed, Tumbled Glass, and Memento Tuxedo Black.
The inspiration is this gorgeous floaty dress. I would defnitely wear this dress myself, so pretty!
I then moved away from the direct inspiration to make my next card, which uses the same colours, but on watercolour paper and with much more saturation. The stamp set is PTI Meadow Greens.
This card was made for the rescuers of Coco. On that note, here is my Coco, with an extra 1.3kg added over the past 9 days. I think we can slow down the feeding now and work on building her muscle back up again. ;-) Her back legs are half the size they were, but they'll come back with some exercise.
Thanks for visiting.
