Così ecco qui il risultato, in cui c'è un po' di tutto... Bits & bobs come sempre!
Però mi piace molto come è venuto fuori, specialmente i colori. Magari funziona come richiamo per la Primavera...! :D Qui il cielo è grigio e piove, piove, piove... :(
Ho iniziato da un foglio A4 di carta fotografica. Ho stampato con il Versamark clear le bellissime foglie e i fiori di Chocolate Baroque (li ho comprati a Natale, ma non li avevo ancora usati!!). Ho fatto asciugare, poi ho usato i Distress Oxides di diversi colori per far emergere i disegni, spruzzando con acqua. Ho tolto l'eccesso con una salvietta e ho ripetuto con gli Oxides, più volte.
Non ho resistito ad usare i timbri anche direttamente con gli Oxides, ottenendo timbrate scure e definite su alcuni fiori e nella metà inferiore del foglio.
Ho tagliato due farfalle vintage (Sizzix - Layered Butterflies by Tim Holtz) usando cartoncini di colori diversi e ho sovrapposto gli strati. Ho embossato le farfalle con polvere da embossing sparkle e ho preparato le antenne con il filo metallico colorato, come ho visto fare tante volte a Brenda. Il corpo delle farfalle l'ho colorato con i Promarkers, dopo l'embossing.
Il set timbro + fustella delle libellule l'ho trovato in una rivista tempo addietro. Ho stampato le libellule su piccoli avanzi di cartoncino bianco; le ho tagliate, le ho colorate con i Promarkers e poi le ho embossate con la polvere sparkle. Difficile catturare lo scintillio in foto!!
I fiori sono fatti con fustelle unbranded (sito cinese) e avanzi di carta; li ho sfumati e modellati; al centro di quello piccolo c'è una gemma, mentre nella margherita ho messo un rotolino di carta nera fatto con lo strumentino per il quilling (che mi è servito anche per arricciare i "pistilli").
Il sentiment è Chocolate Baroque, identico a quello della card precedente (ne avevo preparati due). Il rametto con le foglie piccole l'ho tagliato con una delle tante fustelle Tattered lace che ho vinto al giveway di Brenda: è piccolo ma davvero delizioso e versatile! Il ramo con le foglie più grandi invece è unbranded dalla Cina (AliExpress). Per entrambi ho usato piccoli avanzi di cartoncino
Ho aggiunto puntini bianchi qua e là con un Uniposca. Sui bordi ho usato del Foil viola; per trasferirlo sulla carta ho usato della semplice colla: l'ho fatta asciugare un po' e poi ho fatto aderire il foil. Purtroppo in foto non si vede l'effetto metallizzato.
Infine ho incollato il pannello su un cartoncino nero.

Oh my goodness....this really is a big spark of sunshine on a dreary day (we're having rain & drears today too). So much detail, so much color, interest & sparkle. Easy to see you were having a lot of fun on this play. It's just a wonderful sight to see and I admire your creativity at the items you thought to try on this card. This must be one of your best yet! And it's a joy to see you using the candy items you scored from Brenda. I know she will be so pleased to see them put to such creative use. This is just stunning, Alice! Have a great week. TFS & Hugs
RispondiEliminaGorgeous creation,Alice.Love the beautiful sparkle and the colours.Love the beautiful background too.
RispondiEliminaGr,Sylvia x
What a fabulous explosion of color and design here! I just love all those shiny, sparkly winged creatures and flowers! You did an exceptional job with those inks and colors, and it's just what I needed to brighten up a gloomy day here! We have rain also and will have it again tomorrow, but it's better than the heavy snow another part of our country is experiencing right now! Thanks for the bright spot for today :)
RispondiEliminaWow, so much to love!!! This is a vision in color and design - wonderful job with the inks. I love the beautiful butterfly and how shimmery they are - you've given them such life! It looks like a beautiful Spring day with everything coming into bloom - gorgeous, Alice! ♥
RispondiEliminaOh my goodness, Alice, it's like springtime on a card!! Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! It's so stunning!! I love the flowers and colors and the beautiful butterflies fluttering about!! The sparkle is amazing!! This truly is stunning, my friend!! It's a work of art!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

RispondiEliminaUn tableau fantastico!
RispondiEliminaHo preso appunti... ma perché carta fotografica? 😆
Nunzia
Ciao Nunzia,
RispondiEliminacarta fotografica perchè eviti di embossare con la polvere per dare l'effetto resist, puoi togliere l'eccesso di inchiostro con una salvietta e perchè resta lucido... nelle foto purtroppo il lucido non si vede, ma è un effetto bellissimo
Gorgeous card, thanks for joining us at Allsorts, xxx
RispondiEliminaOh, WOW Alice!! Yet another absolutely fantastic work of art! Your use of the oxide inks has work beautifully both in resist and straight stamping. The flowers, butterflies and dragonflies look wonderful. You've used a lovely colour palette for your card. Love the quilled flower centres and the wire antennae for the butterflies. A delightful vision of loveliness! Debra x
RispondiEliminaBuon giorno Alice,
RispondiEliminaChe meravigliosa miscela di splendidi e bellissimi colori primaverili e splendide farfalle e fiori che creano una così bella mania.
Sono così felice di rivederti ad Allsorts questa settimana, grazie per aver giocato.
Spero che tu abbia un clima caldo in Liguria e che rimane così quando visitiamo, qui nel Regno Unito è un po 'più caldo e abbiamo la promessa del Sole questa settimana.

An own made background like this turns out looking very unique, like a piece of special art, and it brings an original touch to your design. All the added elements bring in that extra special something. It’s beautiful!
RispondiEliminaOh my gosh Alice, this is just amazing! It's a piece of summer exploded through my screen into my room!! What a beautiful whirlwind of colours dancing around your background panel! All of those leaves are so beautiful, I love how some are just a bit lighter and some are a bit darker, so subtle! Your butterflies and dragonflies are stunning, and the die cut flowers are so lovely. What a great quote to use, perfect for the theme of this magical piece!! sending hugs :)
