This month my card for the Card Chain Challenge went across the seas to Arlene in USA.
I used the colour palette, die cuts and friendship theme
I really love how this card turned out - I'll be loose watercolouring lots now and it's fun using it with the die cuts.
- Die cut 3 Vine leaves and loosely watercolored the with Distress Inks
- Die cut the front card panel and used a stencil to lightly add some interest to the background
- Die cut a purple strip and white embossed the stamped sentiment.
Have a Wonderful Creative weekend.... cheers

Gorgeous leafy card, Robyn! Just love your loose watercoloring and take on the colors!! Soooo sorry my card hasn't arrived yet - I knew I should've cheated and sent it earlier than the list came out!! Hope it arrives soon.
ReplyDeletePartial to leaf designs, this beauty is right up front on all counts: design, color, composition and execution. Again, Ms. Robyn, inspirational!
ReplyDeleteLove these loosely colored leaves, Robyn! What a classy design that can be used for almost any occasion, guy or gal!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented in some of the things I am most interested in - 1. making beautiful cards and 2. crocheting. I really wish we could have been neighbors but you live on the other side of the world!
ReplyDeleteVery attractive card Robyn and so beautifully created. I guess this falls under the category of print making with a die cut out. I have seen Bonnie and Loll do some wonderful cards using this technique.
Again - such a wonderful card!

This is such a great card. I love how you have watercoloured the die-cut leaves and made the background shadows, it works so well. You have given me an idea xx
ReplyDeleteStunning card, Robyn, I love how you've coloured the leaves. Loose watercolouring is something I just can't do no matter how I try so I'm in awe of your abilities! Thanks for being a lovely link in our chain again, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe watercoloring on your leaf stems is just gorgeous Robyn - so pretty with the partial stenciling in the background!
ReplyDeleteAdorable card!! I like your background design and the watercolor leaves!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Robyn! Love the colouring on the die cut leaves and the hint of stencilling looks like the way light dapples through leafy branches - perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis really is so lovely and has a wonderful calming effect. I love it!
