I have been rediscovering my desk and found some card kits from past classes so I decided to make them up and add them to my stash!! These cards are from this class. With the embossing already done I simply applied watercolour, layered them and added greetings to finish them off!! Card kits make card making quick and easy!!
I watercoloured the feather in blue and green and did the script background in blue. After the watercolour was dry I added shimmery paint in blue and green to give the feather more glitz. I layered this element onto green cardstock and then onto the black card from the kit. I chose to change the greeting to this laser printed one which I fussy cut and then painted with blue shimmery paint to coordinate with the feather. I adhered the ends of the greeting with double sided tape and added a small piece of 3D foam tape in the center to give it a bit of dimension. Very happy with how this one worked out!!!
For the other card I was careful in my application of colour to make the images really stand out!! I started with yellow for the squares (Magenta), then green for the leaves, and finally blue for the background. Lastly, I used several colours to finish the flowers. Once dry, I was careful to wipe the surface of the embossing with a paper towel to remove any colour that had dried there. It makes the white pop!! I added a simple laser printed vellum greeting on the upper right by folding the end to the back and securing with tape and a tiny bit of double sided below the H in Happy to keep the flagged end in place. I glued this layer to purple cardstock and then to the black card from the kit. It was fun to change up these kits a bit. I do have a difficult time making exact multiples of cards!!
