Hello there...
Team Diane are hosting and the challenge is
Make it Yellow
Yellow is not my go to colour... It's always a challenge to me for some reason ... Guess I'm more of a blues and greens gal but, yellow it is!
I had the idea for my card and started by stamping and colouring the flowers with Copics but I made a boo boo so ended up cutting out the stamped flowers and layering them ... A happy accident as it turned out...
The background was sponged with distress ink and everything else was done with Copics
Then I did a lots of raindrops using glossy accents
The team have created some lovely cards to inspire you up on the blog ... Go take a look and see what you can win if you link up with us ...
As it happens Just Us Girls have a Word Week challenge and the word is Raindrops
So I'd like to enter my card there and also at Inkspirational Challenges
where they have this lovely photo this week
Thanks so much for stopping by - Have a lovely day!

Oh Ros this card is just amazing! LOVE the entire design with the dimension of the flowers/umbrella and LOVE how you did the raindrops ... very creative! Awesome inspiration my friend ... WOW!
ReplyDeleteAw, kitty has such a great polkie-dotted brella! The shading on everything is so awesome, Ros, and those GA raindrops are divine! I have never thought of that! Whack! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteAwesome card with the lovely yellow flowers, sweet cat, and wonderful rain drops with the glossy accents!
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect spring card there!
ReplyDeleteStunning ! Maybe yellow isn't your go to colour but this is amazing beautifully coloured and love the off the edge flowers ( thank goodness for the mistake ) the raindrops are terrific I love my ga but would be too scared to drip all over my finished card for fear of ruining it.

Well this is so stinkin' cute. I love how you have achieved the raindrops by pulling out the Glossy Accents so they look like actual drops. GENIUS!!! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week over at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of favorite colors I am with you. Blues and greens are always my go to colors. But you did a lovely job colouring these flowers. They made me think of daffodils. And that umbrella is so sweet! Your cat; I think it;s my favorite element:)
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs!

WOW! I LOVE your popped flowers and the blue sky you snuck in! The raindrops are FAB and the kitty is delightful!
ReplyDeleteOh Ros this is fabulous. Gorgeous yellow and such a cute kitten looking so cosy under his umbrella (and boy would he have needed that today!!). Those raindrops are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteRos, I love this card. Newton is so darn cute under his umbrella and the flowers are gorgeous. The glossy accents is a nice touch. Think I will steal that idea. Nice shading around your focal image.
ReplyDeleteRos, I love your card! I'd never have known you struggled with yellow because you've absolutely rocked it!

ReplyDeleteFabulous use of the yellow and the raindrops are amazing.
ReplyDelete(It would fit perfectly with the challenge at Inkspirational, that ends Fri night. http://inkspirationalchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/)
LOVE those vibrant yellow flowers! Glossy accents make fabulous raindrops - I have to keep that in mind...

This card is so cute Ros. I absolutely love the cat with its umbrella. The bright yellow flowers are the perfect finishing touch for this sweet Spring card.
ReplyDeleteAmelia
A very happy accident, I shall say - such a cute card! The glossy accents make truly wonderful raindrops and these warm hues of yellow and orange are so much in contrast with the rain theme (one would think) but work so well to get across the message.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, this is such a sweet and beautiful card dear Ros!
ReplyDeleteAwww! This is precious, Ros! I love the yellow, and what a great combination of images to build your scene!
ReplyDeleteThis is pure cuteness!!!
ReplyDeletePoor kitty. He doesn't seem to be enjoying that rain any more than our dogs do and they're water dogs. lol I think the flowers look so pretty layered like that and the rain drops are perfect. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Love that cute little Newton and your card is gorgeous! Congrats on being a top pick over at the Inkspirational Challenge!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on Top Pick at Inkspirational, Ros!
