Your Favorite things and another card

Okay, so last night I finished this card I was crazy about doing. It is my Dutch Dare Card submission of my favorite things. I have many favorite things but NOT all of them would fit together. Flowers and masculine cards don’t always look good together.

Anyways, for this card I used yellow scrapper floss. I love it! Then I used brads. They are so easy to use anywhere! Even as center of flowers or alone. You just need a piercer. Then you have pop-it! pop dots. They are great for dimensions. Then you have the main image. The cowboy. I’m in love with him. It is just that I haven’t used until now because I couldn’t find a way to color it. I used my tombow as watercolor thanks to a tutorial I found over the net. And last but not least, our designer paper. I admit it is not a current one but we still carry 3 notebooks of it. What I like is the weight of the paper. Ohhhh and the size of this card is just 4X3 and I used red! My favorite color now.

Í need to thank Martin for telling me how to color my image. He was the one to tell me (over the phone) which colors to use. I miss paper crafting at his home, but now my inventory is too much for his studio apartment.

Dutch Dare, my favorite things masculine cards.

And now, my other card. It was intended as another entirely different card, a christmas one. Then I changed my mind and wanted to do my grandmother’s birthday card and turned to a stamp from the magalogue I haven’t used yet. Besides, I bought it just for her stuff. She loves flowers and birds.

I did it for various challenges. I don’t LOVE it but they might like it. I will name all the challenges and products used in a while. Meanwhile here’s my card.
