Green and gold

Hello dear bloggers,

Hope you are all well and healthy. I think we are a blessed community because creativity keeps us happy and when we are happy, we are healthy. 

Now to my card - the background has been hand painted with acrylic paints and I have also added a touch of gold to the greens. The gold leaf is part of a set that I bought from London many years ago. It is meant to decorate cups and such but I thought of putting it on a card. This creation was left sentiment free so as to make it a generic card.

I will participate in the following challenges with my card:

Dear bloggers,

I made this card some days ago and I have tried to make a rainbow here. All the nesties and the sentimetnt are from Sizzix. It took me a long time to get the sentiment right. Anyway here is my happy chappy card. I hope it brightens up the vibe and brings happiness to us all.

Hello

Hello dear bloggers,

The image on this card was painted by Aleeza with Pentel watercolour tubes. The strip of blue and white paper is from a Nippon paint brochure. Next to it is a strip washi tape. The sentiment is handwritten after a second attempt.

Partly recycled Christmas

Hello bloggers,

I was trying something else and this is what turned out. I have used washi tape of three types and the little gold dots were negatives from the cogs I had die cut from Ferraro Rocher foil. That is it really.

Thanks

Dear bloggers,

Here is a card that Aleeza designed many months ago with washi and masking tapes. The sentiment is from a pack of alphabet dies and we water coloured the paper before die cutting. It did take a long time to manage to place them on the paper. I would love to know if there is an easier way to place die cut sentiments on the card. 

I thought the background below the card is a nice prop but on second thoughts I could have chosen something else. Yet the card seems quite happy.

Masculine thank you

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a masculine thank you card that was made with a Hero Arts rubber stamp. It is a set of three stamps and I have used one of them. Prisma pencils were used to colour in the image. 

I know I have used this stamp more than once and seem to really like it. 

I have popped the card on thin cardboard. 

The embroidery skeins were wrapped around carefully to keep the geometry in place. 

I will submit this card in the following challenge:
