Hello Floral Card - Contact Craft

Hi everyone!  I have new amazing product from Contact Crafts, that is designed by the talented Bibi Cameron.  It is Intense Liquid Colors.  They are like liquid concentrate watercolor/dye reinkers.  The colors are potent.  The name of the product is an accurate description.  The Liquid Colors come in color sets, Bohemian Regals, Retro Brights, Tuscany Earth, and Sparkle Bases.  There are also clear stamp sets in the new release, Happy Mail, Good Stuff Inside, and Alphabet.  They come with or with Stackable Blocks. 

I have created a card featuring the pinks, purples, and yellows from the Bohemian Regals and Retro Brights color sets.  For the sentiment I used the Good Stuff Inside stamp set.

For the die cutting I used hot press watercolor paper, 300 GSM.  I used Birchpress dies Berry Sprig Rosebud Arch, and Splendid Cosmos.  The colors for the focal flower were Saffron from the Retro Brights set.  The Berries used a mixture of both sets of Yellow, Red, Purple Rain.  For the Rose Buds I used the Red. For the Leaves I used a mix of Green and Saffron. For the stems and flower center I used Sepia.

To blend the colors, I used a blending brush and a pallet. Using basic watercolor techniques to color all the die cuts.  Using the watercolor paper helped with the blending of the colors.  

For the sentiment I stamps the postage stamp outline from the Good Stuff Inside stamp set on white card stock in black pigment ink.  Then stamps HELLO from the stamp set in the center with black pigment ink. Then trim around the postage stamp.

The card is A2 white side folding.  Adhere a 5 1/4" x 4" black panel in the center.  Adhere a 5" x 3 1/4" white panel on top.  Adhere the HELLO to the right center of the card.  Then adhere the berries, leaves and rose buds around the sentiment.  Adhere the flower to the center left of the card.

Card Challenges - PoppyStamps MemoryBox

I have created 2 cards to enter into the Poppy Stamps and Memory Box card challenge.  This is my first attempt at entering a card challenge.  Wish me luck!

Poppy challenge Just Bling It!

UPDATE:
I was too late to enter this card.  I thought the cut off time was PST but it was EST:( it was 9:26 pm PST, 36 minutes too late).  Also I linked the main page address not the adress of the card I posted. Live and learn for next time.
I did get the random draw prize.!!! Can't wait to for my gift card.  So many dies not enough $$$.  I wonder if i can will call my order:)  Not bad for my first successful upload (somewhat successful???)  I recommend using a laptop or computer for this.  Not a smart phone.  I tried to upload through instagram in previous challenges and it would never accept it.  So I created a blog.

For this challenge I made the  Magical Faerie card.    I used the new Poppy Chinese Lanterns with the Patient Faerie.  The patient faerie is sitting on the Mushrooms and Toadstools amongst the Tall Grassy Stems.  Her magic is making the bamboo forest bling.

To create the background the bamboo I used a stencil with crushed olive on the green paper.  I  used the Memory Box Stars Shimmer stencil and mixed the embossing paste with Nuvo glitter gold pen. 

For the bling on the purple card stock I used the Nuvo purple glitter pen. I also used the gold glitter pen on the Pointed Rectangle Frame. On top of green card stock.

Memory Box Neutral Challenge

UPDATE:
I did not win this contest either.  At least my link was accurate:)  thanks for all the nice comments from both teams.  I have a technic that will create amazing backgrounds for the water challenge.  I hope to post the video of it soon.  Editing on a smart phone is slow.

It was really hard to come up with a neutral card theme.  I always want to add some color.  Unless I am remaking an Olga card.  She makes the best neutral card scenes every. 

I used the new Brilliant Leaf Frame die with various shades of brown. I used the Little Dragonflies with the 2 lightest shades used in the leafs.  I used taupe with the Wild Prairie Stems on the bottom to balance it out.
