I have two cards for you two today that are the same but different. I stamped the gorgeous carnations a few times in the bottom right corner and then again in the top left. I added some distress ink in the background along with perfect pearls to add some interest.
For the first card I kept the background simple. I used three shades of green to add some depth to the background. Some perfect pearls mixed with water adds the perfect amount of shine.
I had a bit more fun with the colors in my second background. I love that the mix of alcohol markers and distress inks add such depth to the card.
Which one is your favorite? The more simple or all the colors? :)
You're in for a real treat on the next stop. You're heading to see one of my favorite crafters Svitlana Shayevich

ReplyDeleteBoth versions are beautiful but I love all the colors just a tad bit more. These are gorgeous and the distress inks in the background really make the colors of these carnations pop!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteOh these cards are both so beautiful.

ReplyDeleteAwesome coloring!
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful but I think I like the multicoloured a tiny bit more.
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards, the backgrounds are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWOW, these both look amazing. I like how you kept the middle lighter. This is a cool technique
ReplyDeleteKelly, both are gorgeous, but I'd give a light edge to the multicolored card. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteYou never disappoint Kelly with your amazing colouring. Love these.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards, Kelly! I love the colour on both, but I surprised myself by selecting the green background! Not always one for green! :) Thanks for the great inspiration! Take care! :)
ReplyDeleteKelly, I love the deep colors you chose for your cards. Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are nice, but I prefer the second card because of the colors and the added colors. Gorgeous!!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card as always Kelly. You always do a great job, lovely new stamp from Altenew!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards. Great layout also. TFS
ReplyDeleteWow..love them both...my fave though is the 2nd...
ReplyDeleteYour techniques, color choices and execution make it impossible for me to pick one over the other. I love that your design lends itself to making many card with this style and in multiple color configurations. I too love the mix of alcohol markers and distress inks and the effect it creates.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so pretty. Can't wait for my set to arrive.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are pretty. Tough to pick one 😍
ReplyDeleteLove second one but both are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! I love the scripty sentiments in this set! I'm excited to get mine in the mail!
ReplyDeleteYour cards look fabulous. I'm favoring the purple one.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your recent nuptials. How you find time to do everything including being a great mom is beyond me. Thanks for sharing your cards, my fav is the one with green shading, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards. I love these beautiful, colorful carnations and the shaded backgrounds are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea to give these a distress ink background, really pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful carnations and ink blended background, love the diagonal corner design. I think I love the simpler colored carnations card with the soft green ink blended background.
ReplyDeleteLove how you colored the flowers. Great job!
ReplyDeleteKelly, both cards are very pretty, each have their own look with the different background colors. Too hard to choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love the green background with the Perfect Pearls splatter. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the coloring and the ink blending on both cards! Wow! You are so talented. Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us to give us ideas. Blessings on you ....
