Morning, I have something a bit different today. I have a before and after and I'd love to hear your opinions. I made this first card after being inspired by the challenge over at Less is more- up in the air. I used a Lawn Fawn stamp set called Sunny Skies. I dies cut the circle and stamped clouds all over it, stamped and paper pieced the kite and curved the sentiment around the bottom of the focal point including a little bird from the same set.
Then , as I often do I showed my husband, who as I've mentioned before is a graphic designer. He said he like it but added its a shame there is a little "blue glow" behind the cloud panel. So, I taking his advice I re-made the card but used a ranger blending tool to add a touch of blue ink to the base card.
I also decoupaged the little bird as he looked a bit odd with a blue tinge to him. I have to admit I prefer this "pimped" card but would love to know which you prefer.
Thanks for stopping by,

WOW!!
ReplyDeleteI love both of them Rebecca. Maybe my favourite is the second but only because I like dimension on my cards.
I love the simplicity of this, the 'circular' clouds are very effective.
Love Sheila x

ReplyDeleteI love both cards, but the second one is my favourite with the blue 'tinge' and decoupaged bird.

Both look great, but I think the 'pimped' one just has the edge !
