A few more cards for my sister. I saw her last week and she requested cards appropriate for her daycare so I found some fun images at
Melonheadz that would work. I sized them in CorelDraw and laser printed them before trimming them to size.
For my first card I created my card base with heavy weight paper in an orange plaid pattern. I added the green embossed vellum. It is a nice effect that the flowers are highlighted by the lighter colour behind. I watercoloured my image - a pail full of flowers, layered it with orange cardstock and then added a layer of green textured paper leaving it long on the bottom. I trimmed it with a small scallop border punch and then added a length of white lace ribbon before adhering it to my card front.
For my next card I chose a tulip image (
Melonheadz) to watercolour and then layered it with brown cardstock again leaving extra at the bottom where I tied a length of blue fiber. I created a brown card and added a red background. To echo the blue in the vase I created a layered cardstock accent which I embossed with large dots (SU) before adhering it to my card. I added my focal element to my card using 3D foam tape.
I love the
Melonheadz images and have used many of them quite often in my card making over the years.
