I've been catching up with my Creative Chemistry homework. Week 4's homework was to use archival ink on your project. The background text is partially inked with Versafine Onyx Black, but the butterflies panel is stamped with Archival.
I've been busy with DT assignments, but made some time to play along with Inspired By All The Little Things, where they've got this gorgeous inspiration photo:
As much as I was inspired by the photo, I was also inspired by guest designer Ardyth's interpretation. She has this knack of stripping down the elements of an inspiration card or graphic and rebuilding it in her own innate style, yet still managing to retain the essence of the inspiration - and keep it CAS!
Here's my interpretation, influenced by Ardyth's interpretation.
Two beauties Shirley! Love the contrast between the two cards with the first one having rich, earthy colors compared to the soft, beautifully blended pastel colors on your second car! Awesome diecut sentiment!
ReplyDeleteYOU have a way of your own, Shirley ... OH these butterflies, and all the stamping in the background - gorgeous! Just lovely soothing colors for the next ... the yin, to your yang! =]
ReplyDeleteTwo simply beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteLove your stamped background for your first card and your watercolored CAS 2nd card. TFS my friend. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Love the vintage distressed card and the second one, I love the blended colors!
ReplyDeleteShirley your stamped butterfly background is gorgeous and then your Inspired By card influenced by Ardyth's design is beautifully CAS. Thank you for sharing with us at Inspired By All the Little Things this week!
