His/Her Cards Day 3 Card 2

His/Her Card Clas Day 3 Card 2

I stamped the wheat in black and added an argyle border in purple.  I add the sentiment and then mounted this on a purple mat.  I thought it was busy enough so I didn't add the splashes of color I thought I would.

I used colored pencils and a colorless blender on the flowers and butterflies.  I used Distress Inks and water for the splastters.  Then I added the sentiment and mounted on a purple mat.

The right inks and colors make all the difference with this method.  I really enjoyed trying this out.   Like how the masculine feel is there.  This class is helping me a great deal to see how to change up a few things to make a card masculine.

Next time I would use a secondary stamping of the bkgd stamp in order to have it not so bright.  I would also stop the vellum at the edge of the kraft paper instead of going all the way out over the purple mat.

I tried the technique Jennifer did....not as easy as she makes it look.  Definitely the type of ink you use makes a huge difference.  I got ink on the side of the front by mistake so I cut it down and mounted it on the purple mat.  I sprayed the vellum with glue and attached directly to the front.

His/Hers Day 1 Card 4

His/Her Cards Day 1 Card 4

This is my femine card to match Card 3 masculine version.  I used Smooches to color in the hummingbird so it would glow some.

I started out looking at Kristina's sketch, but ended up here for the masculine card.  Now I am planning to change this and make it a feminime card following this layout.

I tried the technique Jennifer used for her masculine card.  I used different colors.  I started out with white pigment ink and used green dye ink over and off center from the original.  I used a more rigid font for the sentiment and mounted it on a white base, after I used my T ruler and a green marker to make the line across the front.
