Gerda Steiner June/July Challenge

Gerda's  June/July Challenge

Watermelon Kid

Gerda is having a summer break so we have two lovely images for latest challenge. I have coloured both but this is the only one to make it on to a card. Hopefully will get the next one done before the cut off date. Watermelon is such a happy summery image and just screamed to be coloured in bright colours. As we are in winter down here in Australia was nice to think of warm weather. Kept it simple and coloured with my favouites, copics, and am happy with it. The sun is  from a set by Verve  (currently out of stock) but was just  right  for this scene. The sentiment is from the same set. The boy is layered and fussy cut as well as the sun, then mounted with dimensional tape on white card. I then added it to a blue card base.


Copics:
Skin E000,11,13,R20
Hair YR21,E25,35,37,77
Shirt Y06,08,15
Pants B95,97,99
Watermelon G14,28,R000,24,Black Multiliner pen 0.1

    I just made a card with this image and was looking through the other entries on the challenge page to see which I liked best and they were both yours :-) This one is wonderfully clean and I love your bunny and suitcases...

Beccy's May 2023 Challenge

Birthday Hello Have not posted anything for months and saw the challenge on Beccy's Place blog and love the lilies so decided to have a go. Kept the card clean and simple and love how it turned out so maybe my mogo just needed a nudge.. The image is the freebie this month and the hello die is from my stash of die cut words. I can never just cut one and they mount up. I fussy cut two flowers, used dimentional tape to layer the larger one over the smaller flower on white cardstock. Stamped birthday girl under the hello die then added some glossy gems. To finish I adhered the panel to a matching grteen card base.

Happy Birthday

  Warm Hands Only Where does the time go. Our eldest daughter turns 50 tomorrow and this is the card I finally made. Not what I planned but love it and she has a great sense of humour. Hopefully this will get my mogo back as it has been on walk-a-bout lately. The digi is from Redonkadoodles  and was coloured with copics and I kept it simple so the image takes centre stage. Her favourite colour is green so mounted the panel onto a green square card base and added the sentiment. Copics used:  Skin: E00,31. Mouth: & Lips: E13,31. Hair: E23,25,27,29. Present: G12,14,16. Ribbon: C0,1,3,5. Shadow: G0000,000,00.

AAA Cards Cas Challenge

Have a Fabulous Birthday I have been messing around with watercolours so this challenge fits right in. The stamp is from Penny black  called Divine and was such fun to colour. I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder and then just played with different colours. Used a paint set I bought from my local Hot Dollar store ages ago and though they are not the greatest I had fun. Watercolouring is fun as you do not want it to be perfect and I love the patterns the paint creates. Different every time. The sentiment is from Stampin' ups Thoughtful Banners set. It is great for making up your own sayings as the words are all separate. I white embossed it on black card to give the card some contrast. I am entering the card into the Cas Game #84 Watercolour challenge. I am also adding it to Uniko Studio Happy 5th Birthday party Link.
