MAKE IT MONDAY #216: ADDING COLOR TO COVER PLATES

MIM Card 2

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and color added to a Cover Plate die cut.

I made 2 cards for this challenge. I couldn't decide which one to post so I was going to let Pat choose! She and my Mother chose the Quatrefoil one.
In the meantime Colin came home. I had him look, he chose the top, Floral Flaps one!
So, I broke the tie. I had made the Quatrefoil one first but saw others used it before I got mine posted. that is when I made the Floral Flaps one.
Which one do you like best?

For the first one, I used Floral Flaps Die. I didn't buy this die.
I REFUSE to make square cards. I refuse to pay extra postage and I refuse to put a warning on the cards I sell!


Pat bought it and gave one of the dies to me!
Seriously, you don't need 4 of them, right?
I colored the outside and the "leaves" with Limeade Ice and a watercolor brush.
The flower are colored with Berry Sorbet!


On this on I used the Quatrefoil Cover Plate. 
It was water colored with Sweet Blush and Berry Sorbet.


Oh, LOVE the new Bloomers from Dawn McVey!
LOVE!


The leaves are one of the centers stamped with Limeade Ice and cut in half.

Thank You for looking at my blog!

  1. Well, my dear sister, I do not believe you could make an ugly card. Even though Colin's choice won, I like that card, also! Both cards are beauties that anyone would love to receive!

  2. I really like both of them, Suze! Spectacular artistic painterly effects on the two of them. Your Bloomers are gorgeous and aren't you clever to have used the centres as leaves :)
