Hello crafters! Here's a sort of clean and simple card for you today. I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the
Pearlescent watercolour inks on it. I used
Golden Sunrise and Lemon Glacier with a hint of
Red Sunset. I just randomly painted (or rather blobbed) them onto the card, with a few wispy strokes around the edge. I cut the
Because Shadowed sentiment in white and added a black offset shadow, then glued it to the centre of the card. I stamped the rest of the sentiment using the matching stamps in the
Because Die/ Stamp Combo set and cut it out with the tag die, then added it with mounting foam below. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you an amazing card to love the colour.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful bright coloured sample today, elegant is what I would call it, with the beautiful sentiment, perfect card for so many occasions.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, I'm speechless lol, go back to the beginning - stick pins, big flouncy ribbons and elegance, who would have thought that you'd give us blobs and lovely blobs to boot, my blobs would head straight to our cream paper bin, I can't blob, I can do pixie powders and clingfilm and it took Muriel to explain twice how to get the SWPP effect (work that one out) I love your simple but really effective inspiration today Sue, and I just love the font of your new sentiment that sums up how we feel about you. Enjoy another sunny day in the UK everyone (sorry Sue but weather report tells us its warmer here than there today (most unusual) that's climate change if you like (or dont)
ReplyDeleteSending much love to all and hope our friends enjoyed their first birthday hugs in over a year xxx
Morning Sue, I absolutely love this card, a very fresh and modern creation. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Sue xx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue and all.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sunny morning here today and is supposed to be sunny all day. Wouldn't that be nice.
You've given us a very different card today but you have to cater to all tastes don't you.
I do like the colours and the sentiment too.
Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue a different, zingy and abstract kind of card. Very modern, easy done and will be appreciated by lots of people. I do like it and I like the sentiment too xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue this is a fantastic card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. As much as I love almost everything you bring to us each morning ... I am so sorry ... but ... Today's card is just not for me. I am not a lover of the contemporary art stuff. I am more classical and shabby chic. But I also have the understanding that you have to try to please everyone. And by looking at the earlier comments ... There are quite a few that do love this type of art work. So well done Sue and as always Thankyou so much. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
ReplyDeletePLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi Sue

Hi Sue. You have shown us a really great way to use up our stash of backgrounds. This is just the sort of result you get when you mop up the "waste" inks and paints from our craft mats onto card rather than wiping it up and throwing it away! Love it.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday everyone x
Oh wow. I love this. Those colours are wonderful. The simplicity of this card is what makes it so gorgeous x
Apologies for the lack of comments over the last week. I had a well needed, long anticipated stay with some friends in Eastbourne and their internet was down x
I do hope everyone is enjoying our extra bit of freedom but still saying safe. It has been a long time coming x
Crafty hugs (especially now hugs are allowed)!

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA wonderful modern clean and simple card and I love it, don’t have the inks but I’m sure pixie powders would work equally well
Love and hugs to everyone

Beautiful colours and I love the watercolour inks. In fact I love them so much, I bought a range of colours, brushes and paper and have taken up painting as a new hobby!

Hi Sue, a most vibrant and modern style of card that would suit many people but I have to say it is not one of my favourites. Good for younger people, I think.
ReplyDeleteFrances
I have to be honest but sorry, this card does nothing for me.
ReplyDeleteDoreen R
Hi Sue, I quite like this, but I'm afraid if I tried to this it would t look anything like yours.
ReplyDeleteSo different than your usual style, but I love it. Simple but so effective.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
