Hi,
Today I made a card for the new ‘A Passion for Papertrey’ challenge, which is all about ‘Pretty Petals’. I used the EBKS sketch as a starting point. Every petal of the flowers is stamped individually with an element from the Mod Squad stamp set by Papertrey Ink. I tried this flower some time ago on this card, but I was not completely satisfied with the outcome back then. I also wanted to try to stamp the flower immediately on my card, instead of cutting it out first and attaching it then to my card. It was a bigger challenge like this.
Vandaag heb ik een kaart voor de nieuwe ‘A Passion for Papertrey’ challenge. Ik gebruikte de EBKS schets als uitgangspunt. Elk bloemblaadje is afzonderlijk gestempeld met een element van de Mod Squad set van Papertrey Ink. Ik probeerde deze bloem al eens een tijdje geleden op deze kaart, maar ik was toen niet helemaal tevreden met het resultaat. Ik wilde trouwens ook eens proberen om ze meteen op de kaart te stempelen, in plaats van ze eerst uit te knippen en ze dan op de kaart te kleven. Op die manier was het een grotere uitdaging.
The flower on the right is actually stamped twice. I wanted to use three different shades, but when I stamped my images in Spun Sugar, I felt the color didn’t fit in. So I overstamped with Tattered Rose, which made the colors blend and match better. Since this card is monochromatic, it is also going up for the Caardvarks‘ monochromatic challenge.
De bloem rechts is twee keer gestempeld. Ik wilde drie verschillende tinten gebruiken, maar toen ik mijn blaadjes met Spun Sugar begon te stempelen, had ik het gevoel dat dit niet helemaal bij de andere kleuren paste. Dus overstempelde ik ze met Tattered Rose, waardoor de kleuren zich vermengden en beter pasten. Aangezien deze kaart monochroom is, zend ik ze ook in voor de challenge van Caardvarks.
