You amaze me!

I would love to show you the card I created for the May DT for Scrap the Boys New card challenge.

 

The mood board below is the challenge for May.
 

 

So with this mood board I created this card, my chosen subject being a seahorse to pick out the horse, above, in the mood board.

 

Here are a few close ups of my card...

 
I played with water colour paints to get the colours I needed, I used a seahorse die to cut the black bonework and I backed them with the watercolours I had created.  I fussy cut around each seahorse.

 
I chose 'You amaze me' because seahorses are pretty amazing but it was also in mind for who I was sending this to, my nephews, Isaac and Nathaniel.

 
I used splatter of white acrylic paint to add something that was missing. 

 

I reversed the die to get seahorses facing in different directions.

 

Hope you like what I have created.

Dear, sweet, wonderful you...

Dear, sweet, wonderful you.

 

Let me show you something I've made this weekend with Meg's goodies....

 

 

 

Using one of the 12x12 doilies I created an envelope, I adhered one of the beautiful 5.5" Card Artists' Packs/Mini Papers from the Shades of Green Collection 

 

With the floral background and ribbon on the background paper,

 

 I have added some extra flowers with ephemera from the cut and create sheets. I have raised some of the flowers for the 'off the page effect'.

I have added a satin ribbon in emerald from a bundle of Meg's goodies.

 

 With one of Meg's latest products I have added a touch of sparkle.  Meg's Garden website now has rhinestones and enamel dots.

I have used a stamp from my collection as the sentiment

I have used an emerald rhinestone on the top flap of the envelope to seal the doily around this creation.  In reality it is a touch of doubled sided tape that is sealing the doily.

 

Look at the detail in this Basket Lace Square doily.

 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing something different here today.

Hop over to Meg's Garden website to see these beautiful products and thank you for popping by my blog to take a look.

Take Care
