Brilliant Sky

No matter what I did with the picture the background looks more bluish, but it is actually basic gray. I first stamped the LOVELY AS A TREE image in stazon black, masked the sun, then sponged in daffodil delight, calypso coral, melon mambo, rich razzleberry for the sky. Sponged lucky limeade, wild wasabi and always artichoke for the grass. The gray and lucky limeade backgrounds were stamped with the NETTING background stamp. Stamped the thinking of you from TEENY TINY WISHES and cut with bitty banners framelits. Added matting, small circle punches, and brads. No frills, just a peaceful and colorful scene :)

Birthday Jump

This card is for a friend's 13th birthday. The 4 wheeler is from the RIDE ON set (retired). I masked off the sun and bottom and brayered so saffron, calypso coral and rich razzleberry. Stamped tree tops from LOVELY AS A TREE. Sponged soft suede, basic black and espresso on the bottom. Stamped 4 wheeler and colored with sahara sand a basic gray, colored trees with moss, sponged a little yellow in the sun and added white highlights to the rider and trees.

Hummingbird Flight

I made this brayered card using the hummingbird from elements of style, the flowers from inspired by nature and pocket silhouettes, and the flourish from flowering flourishes. I inked the flourish with versmark and lucky limeade, stamped and then embossed with clear powder. Inked hummingbird with versamark then rich razzleberry, stamped then embossed with clear powder. Masked sun and brayered daffodil delight with calypso coarl at the bottom corner, then calypso coral, rich razzleberry and elegant eggplant at the top. Sponged a little soft suede at the bottom. Stamped flowers in black; added white highlights and sahara sand shadows to the images. Colored hummingbird over with coral pen. Added modern label with punchies and pearls. Matted with black and lucky limeade.
