First I created this card which is also for the Hero Arts Monthly Challenge.
I used the Envelope Background Designblock to create the background. The poppies one of my favorites was stamped in StaZon grey ink. The flowers are colored using distress inks and watercolor pencils. (Rusty Hinge, Memento Rich Cocoa) The sentiment (Hero Arts) is stamped using brown pigment ink. Added a touch of silver glimmer mist to white tulle and added to the background.
The second card is a masculine card.
The image was stamped using the StaZon grey ink and colored with distress inks. After the image was colored it was covered in clear embossing powder.
Here are the beautiful colors from ColourQ:
Tomorrow I have two challenges to share for Lily Pad Cards and Chapel Road Artstamps. Thanks for stopping by!
