My daughter Charlotte who is 10 challenged me to making a card using craft supplies that she chose for me, so I challenged her back.... We both used Dreamees stamps, unfortunately the stamp packaging doesn't have a name on them so I can't publish their names :( We were both given a 6x6 card and envelope from my stash, we could chose any inks and any Spectrum Noir alcohol ink pens and any embellishments that we wished...
Here are the cards:- The first challenge card is Charlotte's....
I adore what she has done with the flowers, plus popping in the butterflies and drawing the little lines as though they are flying around the flowers... Just love her card its gorgeous!! To embellish her flowers Charlotte used Nuvo Crystal drops -Violet Galaxy 678N. Charlotte had some leaves left over and didn't want to throw them away so she used them inside of her card to decorate it. I am so proud of Charlotte :)
This is my challenge card :-
Here is my challenge card, I also used Dreemees stamps. I stamped them and cut them all out by hand using some new scissors from Stampin Up, boy are they sharp!! Didn't take me long, I coloured the flowers in using my Spectrum Noir's and then I used my tweezers to put some definition into the petals. I glued several layers together making sure I overlapped the petals.... I used the Nuvo Crystal drops - Violet Galaxy 678N and also the Pale gold 676N, I used a needle and swirled the pale gold into the Violet Galaxy. I was really pleased how it turned out.
Now I have a confession to make I accidentally dropped the needle that had been in the crystal drops and it fell onto my card front... Looking back I think it was a happy accident... Because the accident was big and long I couldn't really cover it up as I didn't have any other card left over from the challenge so.... I sat and thought about it and decided to chop of half of the front of the card and use it as a feature... I then cut two thin strips off the piece of card I had removed from my 6 x 6 card. I coloured the strips in with the same Spectrum Noir Pens I had used in the flowers, for it to co-ordinate. I stuck down the strips using my Tonic Nuvo - deluxe adhesive - 200N.
I then added some Tonic Nuvo - Morning Dew to the flowers and leaves to make it look like there was water droplets on them etc..
I put 3 drops of Nuvo Crystal drops - Galaxy Violet 678N down the shortened flap on the front of the card on the top and bottom as shown on the first photo.
Looking at the envelope it looked awfully plain so I stamped a flower on the flap and coloured it in with the same Spectrum Noir's to co-ordinate with my flowers on my card.
Thank you for catching up with me
