Just about everything on this card is different from my usual cards. First I dug way back in my closet and got out an older SU! stamp, some water color paper and my SU! Water Color Crayons. Dusted everything off and started by stamping the image, then water colored it with crayons, which I have not done in years. I then I went into my scrapbook "stuff" and pulled out some Making Memories Rub-Ons. How long has it been since any of you used your rub-ons? I'm not sure if I have ever used a rub-on on a card. Then I added three flowers and a heart for which I sponged the edges of them, not something I do very often either. I don't know why because I love the effect of something sponged. I usually sponge a frame or die, but not individual embellishments. Finally I used a ribbon and bow which, again, is something I don't turn to very often when making cards. So, I think I've met the challenge this month. I would like to thank you for popping in to see my "Something Different" card. I'm off to have some good "bad" food because it is Super Bowl Sunday, which seems like a good reason to go all out in the food department. I always feel better when I have an excuse for eating bad things. LOL Enjoy your evening.
GREAT JOB!!!! I don't even have any of the water color crayons but they sure colored this up to perfection! You should use them more often. Also, don't think I've ever put a rub-on on a card - but do have those. You've inspired me now! Love the ribbon the side on this beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all that bad food and have a great evening!

I have eaten way too much today - I love having a good reason too.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful. Love the flowers - they look lovely in yellow. Sweet card my friend. Hugz
That's so pretty, Donna! I really like the colors, and the pretty heart inside the o! :o)
ReplyDeleteYou dusted off so many tools and techniques in this post - I am so happy you played along with us at Words 2 Scrap By!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, those flowers are so very pretty, and I love them in yellow! It's fun to do things that aren't our regular style, and just look how pretty this turned out to be! The SB game was good, and I learned that #46 on the NE Pats was raised on the street behind me! Our back yards are practically connected! What a small world huh? LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, you really did things differently. I love the watercoloring and I must say I haven't used a rub-on in forever. I always did like them, though. It was fun to see the image come alive after rubbing them. Your card is yummy.
ReplyDeleteI love the excuse for eating bad food.....apparently, I don't need one. LOL
Hi Donna, I love your love card! Colors and simple design are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting pounded again. Woke up at 6 am to snowblowers being used all over the neighborhood! No school again, they will be going to school til July to make up if this keeps up. Hope you have dug out. Stay warm and comfy.

This is stunning, Donna! Love your watercoloring and the sponging, especially on those tiny embellishments. I have rub ons stashed away somewhere and now you've inspired me to dig them out and use them. :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Donna! Can't tell that this isn't your usual as it turned out gorgeous! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Donna!! I love the watercolor look of the flowers!! And the green background paper is a big Wow!! Love it! Stay warm!
