This week at
it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Spring Flowers!" and I think everyone will know what that means.
Happily, spring is now happening 'round here. *quickly glances out the window to make sure it hasn't suddenly starting snowing since that was typed* There are lots of tulips and daffodils in bloom so it wasn't hard to get in the flowers mood. I tried something I've never done before and did this....
I coloured on coloured cardstock! I really like this look, I just wish I would have chosen a different colour to colour on. Originally, I was going to do mostly yellow on grey but switched to the purple on pink at the last minute. It was nice to colour on textured cardstock again, something I used to do all the time (albeit on the back side of the textured paper because it's a little less textured). Definitely going to try this technique again sometime.
Image is from Canva. Great thing about Canva is it's really easy to move things around on the page. And if you've ever tried to move images around in Word....well, that's just say, you might cry over all that wasted time if you try Canva. (:
So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

This is so cool! I love the look (and particularly the purple on pink). Definitely need to check out Canva since I know an expert...now to find the time.
ReplyDeleteYour coloring on pink card stock turned out fabulously and really loving that there is texture on the paper too, such a great effect on this gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing at my Crafty Wednesday challenge this month!
I also really like this look where you color on the cardstock, that's so clever! Thank you for playing with us at C4Galz
ReplyDeleteI wondered what you had done Jean and love the look you achieved on the textured coloured cardstock. Perfect for our optional theme at Allsorts this week, although not sure about We Love Stamping is it doesn't sound like it was stamped? All the same it's a lovely card.

Hi brenda. The images on Canva are akin to digi stamps. Once the image is downloaded you insert them into a program, like Word, to print. Hope that clears it up, but will totally understand if this type of stamping is inadmissible at We Love Stamping.

Your coloring on colored cardstock turned out really pretty. I don't know how I got this far in life without having done this...now I have something new to try!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!! The colouring on colour looks fabulous - and I really like the look of the purple on pink.
ReplyDeleteIt's currently 25 here and I'm thinking we won't be seeing snow again until the fall. Woohoo!!

Stamping on textured paper is a challenge but you managed this beautifully. Love the colours and design. I also like the stitched edge on each side. Thanks for joining the fun at Cardz 4 Galz, Johanna DT
ReplyDeleteStunning card, Jan!!! I love the pink cardstock, I don't think any other color would look this pretty, so I think you chose well. I've never thought to color on colored paper, how clever! Glad you're having some spring weather finally.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!! I love the flowers you used. Thanks for joining us this week at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges.
