Hi everyone! I am happy to report that I have survived the big craft room move and am happily crafting away in my new space. I LOVEEEEE it! I have a few finishing details to work on and then I can't wait to share it with you, my friends. Now, onto business. :) This week's featured artist has a style all her own. Her cards and coloring always impress...yes, our featured artist this week is none other than Ayana Posadas. You MUST check out her blog
HERE. Here is our first inspiration card by Ayana:
Aren't Ayana's bright colors just FAB?! I love the rainbow effect of her pretty stars. The gemstones are a lovely touch! And overall this is such a simple, yet effective design. Here is my take:
The butterflies (Hero Arts CL383) were colored with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Stamper's Big Brush Markers. Next, I created the background using Distress Ink (Broken China and Peeled Paint) and then flicked it with water. The grass stamp (Purple Onion Designs Stems and Grass) was stamped with Peeled Paint Distress Ink. The yellow background was distressed with Wild Honey Distress Ink and then stamped with Walnut Stain Distress Ink (Hero Arts CG125). Sentiment by Papertrey Ink. Thanks for stopping by! I'll see ya tomorrow with a special post--get ready to hop, hop, hop. ;)
