It is absolutely gorgeous
Now when I have some crafting time I copy and paste various sketches and ideas onto an A4 document. I try and get as many as possible onto one page (cheap I am) and possibly I made my copy of this colour seed just a leeeeeeetle bit too small as I "read" the colours wrong. I was v. cross with myself as I absolutely love these colours together, but just didn't have any time to make another card this week.
I haven't told my sons yet but I know they will enjoy this mistake as they are both quite prfoundly colour blind and being a loving mother I have spent many happy hours laughing at them getting colours wrong.
Anyway, here is my card
Papers are from the latests Amy Tan 6x6 pad, a Kaisercraft Christmas pad and some very old Heidi Swapp.
The dies are from Dienamics; Sizzix and Clearly Besotted and the sentiment is from Imagine That. Oh and I used two circle punches and some Hobby House gems.
The finished card is quite nice but I will never love it as I will always say to myself "why did you see that colour as yellow and not lovely sage green. why? Why? Why!"
I did play with other colours for a new challenge this week. I saw some people playing along and decided to have a go.
Virginia wanted people to use watercolouring as well as this inspiration piece
and I made two cards
This one uses a free stamp I had with a magazine, embossed in white and then watercoloured using yellow, pink, orange and red distress inks and a waterbrush. The papers are Heidi Swapp, Amy Tan and MME. The sentiment is computer generated
This was another free stamp, watercoloured in a similar way. I added Amy Tan papers and some washi tape. The balloons are Clearly Besotted dies and I had drew the string. The balloons were given the Wink of Stella treatment
Expect to see loads more cards like this as I really enjoyed the process :)


Absolutely gorgeous cards Lythan. So happy I can truly appreciate they're true colours ♥♥
ReplyDeleteLovely bright cards, Lythan!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your beautiful ways of using water-colors, Lythan! The colors evoke a sense of excitement and happiness! Well done! Thanks for playing Virginia's View challenge!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Lythan - I think the yellow looks fab on the first one :) Love the watercolour with the striped border
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful cards, Lythan. You can definitely tell that you had Zuzanna's colours in mind for the first card.
ReplyDeleteI also like your water colour cards a lot!
Love all of these. I saw the greeny colour as yellow, too I don't think its our fault ;)at all - it just depends on your screen and then your printer if you are printing things out. So there
