Hydrangea

Hey!

Here's a card I made with the new release image from Stamps by Julia Spiri and it's called "Hydrangea". Isn't she a beauty?

I colored the image using Promarkers and Faber Castell Polychromos. I kept the card pretty simple as I wanted the image to stand out. I used Kraft and purple cardstock, designer cardstock, doily edge punch and walnut stain distress ink.

There is still time to enter the anything goes w/a twist challenge over at the Julia Spiri blog.

Little Carmen

Hey!

Here's a card I made with a Freebie from Julia Spiri. You can get her in the Kit and Clowder facebook group till October 21.

The image is called Little Carmen and I have colored here with Promarkers. The card base is Kraft and I stamped it with roses to create a background. Had to use red and black as I think those colors go great with a flamenco dancer. I made a big rose using a EK Succes flower punch. Other items used: roses embossing folder, distress ink, nestabilities die and a edge punch.

The image will be available in the Etsy store when she is no longer a freebie.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Hey!

Today there isn't a new release from Stamps by Julia Spiri, but we were challenged to working with  past images.

I got to play with this fun image called "Butterfly Hat". The skin is colored with Promarkers and the rest of the image with Water Color Pencils (No Brand). It was the first time using these pencils. I mostly always color with alcohol markers. To create the card I used a gorgeous butterfly edge die from Noor Design and a few butterfly and flower  punches.
