Monday Blues


I decided that I need to go outside my comfort zone, so I've been trying to work with flowers more. Guess what? I've decided that I DO like flowers! I used the pearlescent water color paints that I got from MFT on this card. It's kind of hard to see from the photo, but it is sparkly and pretty. I also used Bazzill bling orange for my card base. I added a layer of black and then basic grey dp, sponged with pumpkin pie. The sentiment is also on basic grey dp sponged with pumpkin pie. I popped up the bottom flower and popped up the middle flower a little higher. I added the polkadot ribbon and the white dots on the black cardstock to match.

I got this set from MFT. Isn't it cute. I'm not really happy with his pants, but I couldn't find paper I wanted to use and didn't like it just plain either. I cut the hat from textured paper and added shading to look like a straw hat. The image is colored with copics, the sky is sponged on making clouds with a scallop punch. I used SEI dps with taken with teal and groovy guava. I started out with the MFTSC38, but it somehow took on a life of it's own and doesn't resemble the original sketch much now.

Nice job on the flower. I'm not a flower fan either really, especially ones that require so much coloring, you did a great job! And I just love that little monkey!!

The first card looks like one that Faith (Markie's Mom) would have created with all the dots. Its beautiful! The bunny card is great too!
