Challenge #134
Say it with Flowers
Our challenge theme 'Say it with Flowers' has been chosen by Josephine.


This really was a labour of love :) :) :).  I coloured this digitally using Procreate more as a learning exercise so see if the way I do things could be improved LOL.  Learnt a couple of new things along the way which was great.  The image is made up of around 20 individual layers which I merged together at the end.  Last but not least, I added a quote by Victor Hugo.  Alas I cannot take any credit for the beautiful flower initial design as this is from a flower painting found on Google search.  I used the painting as my bottom layer as a shape and colour guide, this layer was then deleted when I was happy with my end result.

3 of Something

Challenge #133
3 of Something
Our challenge theme '3 of Something' has been chosen by me (Mimi) :).  I just love bees and could not resist making this card after sitting outside in the sunshine and seeing my first bee of the year - so happy winter is over and warmer brighter days are here.  So to everybody who enjoys the sunshine, a bit of toast with honey etc. I hope you will always 'Bee Happy'


Had a bit of fun with the card, nice and simple but I do think yellow and black is such and awesome combination.  The card was made digitally where I had a rather enjoyable time plying with textures for the background paper before adding the digital stamp of the honey bees. Simple sentiment and then the addition of shadows to the layers to give a more dimensional look to the card.
