Guest Designing at The Cutting Edge Challenge.

July 5, 2014 MFT, The Cutting Edge Challenge, Uncategorized

 Good’ day everybody.

I am sharing with you a card I made as guest designer for The Cutting Edge Challenge #2

I am so excited and honoured to be selected as guest designer for the challenge. Thank you team!

Here is the inspirational card for Challenge #2
When Karolyn emailed me her card to work with for the second challenge, I was very thrilled because this is one of my favourite card by Karolyn. I remember seeing this card on her blog (for another challenge if I am correct!) and went Wow! That watercolour effect on the cityscape is just awesome, perfect and beautiful in all ways. The black strip is a nice contrast. I inspired by it and wanted to CASE it for a long time. Now, I was one happy girl. Thanks Karolyn!
So my card below is inspired by watercolour on the cityscape die.
Just because 2
The cityscrape die is from My Favorite Things. I have diecut a few of them and used three distress inks- Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry and Crushed Olive to add watercolour to the die cuts. I love vibrant colours. Once dry, I layered the cityscape dies on the card front. Added black glitter tape to the bottom of the card front. I used Black Soot distress ink to add spatter. I learnt it from Julie Ebersole. She is one of my favourite designers. Stamped sentiment is from Contemporary Roses from MFT. Finally added some enamel dots in the same colours as the watercolour to finish off the card. I have a tip for you: I did not have the smallest size hot pink enamel dot. so I coloured a light pink enamel dot with copic marker to match the colour I wanted. How cool is that?  Now you can colour enamel dots the colour you want to match your project. I reaaly love how my card turned out. Hope you do too!

    I agree with you, Gayatri. That cityscape is one of my favorite cards ever. Yours is pretty amazing, too. Love the interpretation and the twist you gave to make it your own.
