Oh this post is a sad one...It's my last as a design team member with Runway Inspired Challenge. I came on board about a year ago and loved every challenge with the most amazing design team AND players around. Thank you Jen for taking a chance on me. RIC allowed me to be edgy and artsy and cool without caring what a "normal" card is supposed to look like. It was very liberating.
To color the flowers, I used color pencils and then blended with stamp cleaner. A tip I borrowed from the talented Jennifer McGuire HERE.
Our sponsor is Ellen Hutson! And you MUST check out the design team:
All Supplies by Penny Black. The stamp is called FLOWER POETRY I also used a sentiment from Wishes and creative dies.
I went back and colored the flowers with some Wink of Stella. It gave it a pretty result.
Edited to add: Ok I just noticed that I only have 2 sprigs on the left and 3 sprigs on the right. Since I was trying to recreate one of those Greek fern looks where the leaves come up on both sides symmetrically, I had to fix it. It's a gloomy day so the pic isn't as good, but here it is!
Noooooooooooo :( I'm going to miss you so much <3 I'm totally loving your style right now so I hope I'll get to see you around more often ♥
ReplyDeleteThis card is so gorgeous, Wida! It has an elegance to it. Stunning!

ReplyDeleteYour last card for this challenge as a member of the DT is sensational, Wida! I'm sure the team will miss you like krazee, but I do hope we will still see your liberated takes on the RIC challenges in the future! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI will truly miss seeing your creations on this DT Wida. I have really seen you grow as a designer through your term, including taking artistic risks which have paid off and seen some of your best work as a result. This final card of yours is truly beautiful and special, and a perfect way to bow out with style. <3
ReplyDeleteWida, you really are leaving! It's not going to be the same without you :(
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you would still be creating and sharing from time to time. As for this card, love the focal image, and love how you framed it with black leaves!
Way to go out with a bang! Beautiful card! I didn't know you could blend colored pencils with stamp cleaner? Gonna have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to miss your RIC creations!! You gave it a whiff of freshness and I loved seeing your latest creations especially. "Normal" card? What is a normal? I think yours were all exquisite, amazing, perfect. Does that count? :)
ReplyDeleteI am just getting to know you Wida :( I cannot believe you are really leaving RIC! Though I know I will still see your fabulous creations! Its not a goodbye after all. Your card is lovely and what a cool technique!

ReplyDeleteThis post makes me sad. Not because of the card because that is gorgeous, but you know I love your RIC cards they are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Wida! I love the softness of your flowers using this technique, and your black sprigs are the perfect touch!

Aw, sorry you're leaving RIC, I love your takes on the inspiration, including this one. Your OCD edit made me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteWhaaaat? You're ditching RIC? Announcement tomorrow on your blog? ;) Love the coloring on your blooms. FYI you can use baby oil too to blend pencils.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss your RIC creations, Wida but I still have comfort in knowing that you'll still be rocking cool, edgy designs no matter where your creative adventures take you! :)
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS card Wida. Love it :)
