Hello, there!
This week our challenge at Digi Makeover blog is an Inspirational Photo: Nautical bedroom.
And today we have a guest designer: Anda (Flying Fresian), so welcome and visit her blog.
You'll see I made two cards this week, the first one has a nautical image and the same colors as our picture... I used the set "Sailing by" .
And the second one, has the colors from this photo and of course the male factor too.... For this one, "Color kid - Beyond measure".
Why? You ask me... Well, I wasn´t to happy with the first one and try to do it better, and finally I am posting both of them, hehehe... Both of them are colored with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils.
For the first card I used kraft paper as background, then I used blue, sky-blue and red cardstock. I cut the image and its mat with Sizzix circle dies. As embellishments, I used two other images from the same set, add some blue glitter to the anchor (I used foami tape for it), and the special cord is some recycled cord from a blind that broke and I saved it because I thought could be great as embellishment (...what do you think of it?)....
For the second card, I used blue, sky-blue and red cardstock, some blue gingham dp from Folia. As embellishment I used a red ribbon with white edgie stitches and blue cold porcelaine stars in two different sizes.

Both of these are great. Love you you repurposed the cording for your embellishment on the first card. Great coloring of the images on both cards.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made two cards, although I don't understand why you wasn't happy with first one. I think it is awesome! Love how you put all those images together on the card. It looks so beautiful. And the cord is perfect on it :) I like second card too. Such a beautiful color combo and layout.
