Creative Confetti - Keep Your Distance

It's another fun Tuesday at Creative Confetti and I am Barbara here to tell you about this week's challenge. By now we have all been practicing the social distancing for several months. As things start to relax a bit we still need to be aware of our hand washing and keeping our distance. So let's have some fun with that and practice distancing on our projects. What do I mean by that?

HOW TO PLAY:  Simply create a project that has several images on it.  You can have as many as you would like, but they should have space between them. and not be touching.  Why not practice keeping your distance on our projects?  We all need a little fun about now. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I had some digital fun creating my card. 

On to my Creation! 

For my card, I used the Perfect Poppy digital stamp set. I selected one of the flowers.  Then I erased some of the parts of the flower so that I could arrange them on my card front without touching the next one. 

There are a lot of images on this set and I used the one on the lower right. After altering it, I placed three of them on my card.  I was also able to make some different sizes.
So easy to do with a digital stamp. 

The sentiment is from this set and I hope that my humor is not lost here as I thought it was perfect for these times that we are surviving in. 

I love my Copic markers and  I used these colors on this card. 

Leaves are B24, YG97 YG93

Poppies are R27, YR09. YR02

Background are C1, C3, C5, C7

Both of these sets are on sale as I write this challenge.

Seize the Birthday - Spring Fling

The toppings for this challenge Spring Fling!

Lindsey has challenged us to make Spring cards.  For me that means flowers. 

But if you are not a toppings kind of person, Just make it a birthday card and that will work too! 

Here is my card for your inspiration.

Can you feel the spring on this card?  I just love poppies and this was my go-to stamp for this challenge. Spring flowers are so much fun to color and make cards.  I used the newer stamp from Gina K Designs called Vertical greetings and things.   Not only does it have poppies but fun vertical greetings that can be used on many cards.  I started with watercolor paper and my Arteza Real Brush pens in Cantlope, Apricot, and Orange. To define the flower petals I used a Prismacolor pencil in Vermillion.  For the foliage, the colors are Pea Green and Crockadile Green.

Next, I die cut the panel with Simon Says Die called Postage Stamp Edge die. That was layered in Sage green and a base of Asparagus from Gina K Designs. 

The hardest part of this card was to add splashes of ink.  I can't tell you how many cards I have messed up with bog blobs.
