Il cerchio con i fiori è tagliato da uno scrap di carta bianca sul quale avevo provato la fustella Mixed Media#2 by Tim Holtz; successivamente ci avevo posato delle forme per colorarle con i Distress Inks. Mi piaceva "l'effetto stencil".... così l'ho riciclato.
Anche il vaso è una fustella by Tim Holtz. L'ho tagliata da un cartoncino recuperato da una scatola, sul quale ho incollato un piccolo pezzettino della bellissima carta velina stampata con il Gelli Plate da Gio (Giovanna Zara, grande artista italiana... andate a vedere sul suo canale youtube che meraviglie si possono fare...!). Ho comprato recentemente dei bellissimi stencils nel suo EtsyShop (e non vedo l'ora di usarli!!! :D ) ma nel frattempo questa carta che fasciava un suo regalino mi chiamava.... :D LOL ...e così l'ho usata per il vaso.
Il pezzetto di carta arancione invece è un avanzo bianco, colorato con i Distress Oxides; i fiorellini sono tagliati con un piccolo punch per bambini :).
Le farfalle sono MemoryBox (Isabella e Pippi Butterflies) e credo che vadano bene per entrare anche nel challenge di Giugno di Country View Challenges: It's A Bugs Life.
Il sentiment Hallo è PoppyStamps; non ricordo invece il brand di Special Friend (forse l'ho trovato in una rivista). Ho incollato tutto su un cartoncino blu e ho incollato il pannello su una delle due parti frontali della gatefold (un cartoncino azzurro piegato in tre).
Questo è l'interno della gatefold card. Ho aggiunto al centro un cartoncino blu uguale a quello esterno (che spunta a sinistra). Ho aggiunto ancora una farfalla e un bordo di farfalline tagliato con un punch Wiler

RispondiEliminaTo me, this card front looked like a hot air balloon rising past some pretty butterflies, on its way to tour the skies!
RispondiEliminaBut I enjoyed ready your take on it too.
Funny what different eyes see in our creativity!
You’re not afraid of mixing colors and patterns and materials and I think is partly why your work is so original and specific to you. I’m more of a person who focuses on matching things. So our styles are very different. Yours is definitely more unique and it’s always inspiring to see your work.
