The long-awaited new cd from
Glenda Waterworth Essence of nature is now here - and I
had to try some of the backing papers out!
The first card is for
Playdate 40, where the colour scheme is for black/white/hint of green - fortunately, there is a lovely muted colours folder on the cd, with a greeny/grey misty trees image which fitted in beautifully (the photo comes out rather brighter green, it didn't scan well as the silver grey came out very dark grey mud colour). The image was embossed in detail black, butterfly pained with H2Os, and the poppy heads coloured with pencils highlighted with an inkssentials white pen.
Second card used an alternative image I had thought of using for playdate, but coloutred the poppy heads in brighter tones. the butterfly is using 2 layers of fantasy film. The film was was in tones of blue and golden green, but they both came out more purply.....the greeny gold in the top layer does show up in sunlight though.........backing paper again from the cd, but a brighter colour scheme, more autumnal shades - I can see this cd getting a lot uf use, I already have a small stack of printed papers rady and waiting to be used..........
All the stamps used are from Elusive Images - butterfly poppy plate and patchwork butterfly plate

Oooh, these are both gorgeous Veronica. Your colouring on both is superb and that fantasy film butterfly is really lovely - I've had a good look at both card on magnification and they are still beautiful, Lol!
ReplyDeleteThis cd is exceptionally gorgeous isn't it? I've no idea how Glenda is ever going to beat this one.

Lovely cards, wonderful collage of images. Thanks for playing at the PDCC.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards I have both those stamps and love them. I've just got my Cd this morning. But have my grandaughter today so it will have to wait until later. I love your cards they are great. x Hugs ChrisB

Gorgeous cards! Those stamps go so well with the CD papers, don't they? Your colouring is beautiful, and I love that film butterfly. It looks as though it's about to take off and fly away! PS. Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog this morning.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, and the colouring is really great. I think the fantasy film butterly is a lovely touch.

Great cards:) Love those butterflies! Both are so unique:) Thanks for playing along with us at the PDCC:)
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the 2nd card. I can almost imagine my son getting his net out to catch the butterfly! I've had a look at my E of N CD but with the children off school haven't yet booked myself daytime use of the computer. Your cards are really tempting me though ...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love the butterflies popped in green. Thanks for playing along with the PDCC.
