Summer Reflections

Yaaaaay! I made Top 3 at Make My Monday with my Paper Piecing card, so a big "Thank You" to their lovely DT.

My card today is for three challenges

 First is Make My Monday where they want to see some

 3D DIMENSION,

second is Addicted to CAS with a theme of

 SUMMER

and lastly, The Male Room with a masculine card in a theme of      REFLECTIONS

Here's my card

I stamped the lady in the boat twice in Black Archival ink, coloured one and cut it out. With the other one I cut it with a Nestie and stamped some flowers and plants on the riverbank. and coloured the water and reflections with an Aqua Painter. The first lady was then stuck over the other with 3D Pads. The Nestie image, also on 3D pads, was then placed on some green and red cards that had been embossed, and that had been wrapped with a navy ribbon. The finishing touches were the sentiment, bow, and the stamped dragonfly which was also on 3D pads.

Supplies :

Card = Lucky Limeade, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Pacific Point, and white base FMS

Stamps = Summer by the Sea, Pocket Silhouettes, Organic Grace, and Tea Shoppe

Inks =  Black Archival, and Too many to mention, but all SU Write Markers 

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Fancy Fan and Dots EF's,  Stamp-a-ma-jig, and Aqua Painter

Thanks for dropping by today, and for all your lovely comments, as they make my day. I'm sorry that I haven't left many comments myself lately, but I hope to get round sometime this week to catch up.

Water Maiden

I've had a nightmare weekend with no internet connection, so I've got a mad dash to publish this in time (hopefully!)
My card today is for four challenges

The first is Paper Craft Crew with this sketch, 

second is Pals Paper Arts with these colours,

third is Stampin' Royalty with ANYTHING GOES,

and lastly, Addicted to Stamps with MAKE YOUR MARK

Here is my card

The image was stamped in black Archival ink and coloured with Write Markers and an Aqua Painter. A Post It was then placed over the woman in the boat so that the sky could be sponged behind her, and water painted under her. Some reeds were stamped on the waters edge, and the reflections were softened in the water with an Aqua Painter. Some red and blue were also added in the water under the woman's toes. The scene was cut with a Nestie and laid on embossed brown and blue cards with 3D pads. The finishing touches were the ribbon, sentiment, and stamped dragonfly.
