Here is one card that I've never liked, mainly due to the colours I chose. I stenciled a background behind the panel, but it hardly shows.
Since I used Botanical Blocks II for the first card, I chose to make a Christmas card with Botanical Blocks IV for my second card, along with the general layout. Instead of a stenciled background, I used some patterned paper for my second card. I used the same Pinefeather green as a mat and for the tag. Instead of painting the image, like my first one, I dug out my Prismacolour pencils to colour the second one. I had forgotten how much time that takes!! No wonder I prefer painting--I'm an impatient person! A little Stickles and Perfect Pearls were used to embellish. The sentiment is from "Keep it Simple:Christmas".
And here's a close up of the colouring. I don't think anyone will be mistaking me for Yana, or Sandy Allnock...
Thanks for looking!
Nice redo. I like both of your cards and am partial to the botanical block sets. I wonder if you would like card #1's sentiment strip better if it was also white embossed.
ReplyDeleteKathryn, both cards are gorgeous but like Vikki, the sentiment really stands out more on your second one. LOL when I read your comment about Yana and Sandy. Let’s just say they’ve had a lot more practice. 😊
