| Original Card 2016 |
It's a re-do of a not good card & is one of my favorites. Not sure why I haven't tried another one before now. Anyway, I kept a similar design with a very different color scheme--one I don't tend to use much.

| New Card 2018 |
I also changed to a simple stamped sentiment from Friendly Flowers, images from Rosie Posie & RP Step 2. The Distress Inks are scattered straw, wild honey, shabby shutters & peeled paint. I added splatters & yellow Nuvo Drops. This time I omitted the shimmer spray & used a stitched rectangle die. Must say, as I was making this card I thought it might end up in the trash. I'd forgotten that you truly have to just keep going & let it dry before deciding if you like it or not. This one is going in the mail--it passed the test--haha! I'm also entering CropStop, HLS Watercolor Challenge, Retro Rubber (roses I've had at least 5 years), SSS Monday & Die Cut Divas. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Well I think they are both beautiful!! You've done an amazing job with the watercolored blooms. Love the pink and love the yellow!
ReplyDeleteI think both the original card and the re-do are gorgeous! Beautiful colors on both.
ReplyDeleteI'll say it passed the test. It is gorgeous (and its not just the yellow) YOu need to make a whole bunch more of these...flowers coming down from the card top, growing up from the bottom edge!
ReplyDeletewell, i think they're both really really pretty - lovely watercolouring and both great design. rosie posie is a fave set of mine - should use it more often.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE them BOTH honestly! They have beautiful colors and flowers... Always wonderful to see your re-do's! :)
