Halli Hallo ihr Lieben!
Für eine "besondere Frau" lautet das Thema bei den Crafty Cardmakers für die kommenden zwei Wochen. Ich habe dabei an eine Freundin gedacht, der es zur Zeit nicht so gut geht und der ich eine kleine Aufmunterung zusenden möchte:
Heya my dear crafty friends!
"For a special woman" is the theme of the new challenge over at the Crafty Cardmakers. When I learned of the theme I thought of a friend who is going through a rough time and I thought I could maybe make her smile with my card:
Zum Colorieren habe ich die Twinkling H²Os und außerdem die sogenannte "Nass in nass - Technik" verwendet. Bei dieser Technik malt man zuerst eine Fläche mit klarem Wasser aus und gibt dann eine Farbe von der einen und eine zweite von der anderen Seite in das Wasser. Auf diese Weise bekommt man einen wirklich schönen Farbübergang zwischen den beiden Farben hin ;o)
I used Twinkling H²Os to colour in the crocuses and also used a technique that I know as the "wet in wet -technique". First you "colour" one area (in this case petal) with plain water and then you add one colour from the bottom and one from the top, that way you get a really great transition between the colours ;o)
Den Hintergrund habe ich mit einer Mischung aus Mawed Lawn und Twisted Citron Distress Inks und viel Wasser auf das Papier gemalt. Sowohl als es noch nass war, als auch im trockenen Zustand, habe ich ein paar Kleckse in den Farben der Krokusse aufgesprenkelt und damit war meine Karte so gut wie fertig. Es fehlte nur noch der süße Spruch und das Zusammenbauen ;o) Ich hoffe, euch gefällt die Karte und auch ihr genießt bereits die ersten Frühlingstage!!!
I created the background using a mixture of Mawed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Inks and a lot of water. I added droplets of colour to it while it was wet and after it had dried using the same colours I had used for the crocuses. Now all I had to do was to die cut the background panel to give it a nice shape and to glue the flowers to the front. I hope you like my card and that you get to enjoy the first days of spring ;o)
