Day two of my cardmaking extravaganza. First up is my card for challenge four, chipboard. I layered some old favorite papers along with some handmade embellishments. I stamped and cutout the Hero Arts dragonflies and also made the paper flower with the Tattered Florals die.
I just love the all of the elements Elena Morgun has challenged us with, especially stamping on vellum. Here's another Stampendous flower on purple vellum. The background features my new Tim Holtz floral stencil and watercolor with Seedless Preserves and Pumice Stone Distress Inks.
For the second challenge we are to take inspiration from one of Elena's YouTube videos. I chose THIS awesome project and followed a lot of the details just as she showed.
Again using the new Tim Holtz floral stencil and stamping on vellum, this time on pearlescent vellum. For this background and the next I used Twinkling H2Os.
The quote reminded me of Elena's generosity in creating such a lively community to share our passions for art, and also of my awesome bloggy friends. Love y'all!!
On the last card I used another Tim Holtz stencil to do a monoprint technique, then layered color with the H2Os and white embossing.
I am so into this background and into playing with watercolor this way! It was fun to continue to use each challenge's theme in the following cards!
I added a beautiful Verve sentiment that was so appropriate for the theme, Waiting for Spring.
I'm happy to share my projects with Elena Morgun's Waiting for Spring challenges all found HERE.
Fabulous makes both of them! Such fresh and warm colours and beautifully put together!

ReplyDeleteThese are super dimensional and match your teal series perfectly! Thank you so much for your comments on my blog! Due to a Google glitch they do not appear, but I've seen the notifications! Hopefully they will be visible after Google sorts out this annoying problem!
ReplyDeleteHi Autumn, more gorgeous cards. I am loving all the detail and colour palette is perfect with this one too. When I saw them I didn't know where to start. Angela x
ReplyDeleteHi, Autumn! Yikes! I just lost my entire comment! Maybe it was Google's way of saying I'm too wordy LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen your incredible masterpieces popped up in my Bloglovin Reader today, I was without words. How did you ever fit so many wonderful layers and textures on each Beauty without making it look messy? WOW! Beautiful stories related in each card - lovely flowers, wonderful use of texture, color, EP, vellum, stamps, and mediums. Thank you for explaining how you did each card, and how the products were used. I have lots of the colored vellum, and never considered embossing with white. I learned so much today! Thank you! Hope your week is fabby! hugs, de

These are just beautiful! I really love the colors and layering and so many details...hard to choose my favorite between the three, but I do believe it's the 3rd card. The stamped sentiment and that frame...WOW.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gracious! These are beyond beautiful! Where do you find the time?! LOVE the bold, nearly monochromatic palettes, and your layering skills are out of this world!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards and the colors you used! That rectangular frame is now on my wish list. Beautiful, Autumn! You are so inspiring! Hugs!
