Our task this month is to present a 'this or that'. Our team leader, Angie, has given the challenge of trying something two ways. Well, I don't know about you but I often have 'this or that' moments in my making: this label die or that? this colourway or that? this sentiment or that?
This time, I was experimenting with a new bundle from the Online Exclusives section, Pretty Petals. I'd overlooked this bundle when it was first shown in preorder last year but after seeing the work of the Artisan Design Team - and particularly the work of our own team member Mikaela - it somehow made it's way into my cart.
So, my big 'this or that' is to do with colour: a bright combination or the more subtle 2024-6 In Colors?
In each card, I did the same things, just with different colours. Using Fluid 100 Watercolor paper, I stamped the foliage, then added in the flower stamps. Using a Waterpainter, I went over the stamping to create a kind of no-line watercolour effect. Then I painted in some touches of a third colour using reinker.
I die cut out using the largest of the Perennial Postage dies and used watered down re-inker and Water Painter to add in the splatters of colour.
The sentiment is from Cheerful Daisies and the label is from the matching dies.
Finally, I added three embellishments.
Which do you prefer?
1. Subtle In Colors?
2. More Regal and Bright?
