A Different Perspective

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I have a couple more cards made over the last couple of weeks that I finally got finished and pictured thanks to the migraines I've been dealing with.  Both cards use the Conjurer of Dreams Serene Forest Greyscale Coloring Book.  I printed both images at 3.5 x 5 because of the migraine.  Now, I absolutely LOVE Kim's greyscale coloring books.   The images can be used for a variety of projects; from cards, home decor, art journals, etc.  You get the hint.

 

After printing out both images on to Neenah white card stock, I colored them both using Castle Arts watercolor pencils while my husband was watching the news so I could focus on something and tune the TV out.   Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled a little bit of stormy sky and tumbled glass distress inks to finish filling in the sky before layering and adding brads.  I then took my paper distresser and ran it along the edge of the bottom layer before adhering the finished panel to a dry embossed card.  After adding some silver cord along the edge, I added diamond stickles to highlight the water before adding two vintage word plaques I've had in my stash for 10-15 years and never opened the package.  As an afterthought, I pulled out my Sakura 3D glaze pens and added some colored dots as flowers.

For the second card, I again colored it using  Castle Arts watercolor pencils before blending some leftover stormy sky to fill in the white space before adding some faux brads.  For embellishments this time, I only added some jute twine along the edge, diamond stickles to the water and the 3D glaze pens for flowers.  I'm really happy with how both cards turned out.
