Hello, All!
I've come with a couple of cards -- those cards we all hate to make but need to send. These took much longer than they should have, but sometimes when it's so personal, it's harder. I knew I wanted to use "the great outdoors" as the recipients are in Colorado, where the outdoors is a way of life to most. While I made two cards, I wanted them similar yet stand on their own and I think I accomplished that.
Card #1 -
I had wanted to participate in Loll's CAS Mix Up challenge, which was to use AIs (in whatever form) onto vellum, but missed the deadline due to other life deadlines... but I accomplished the cards and that was the primary goal anyway. I did use the colors from Color Hues #22 - Lime & Aqua, so one of these will be heading over there.
Card #2
Both cards were made by smooshing AIs onto vellum, in multiple layers, drying in between, so I used more lime in one card and more aqua in the other card. After cutting the front panel, I added a second white panel behind the AI/vellum, so that the colors would be more vibrant. Here they are together ~
If you noticed in the first photo, these particular AI's are "pearl", so a photo to show the shimmer ~
I then ink blended a panel and cut the word die, layering it 3 times and coloring around the outside edges with a Copic, added it to the panel and stamped "sending".
Supplies:
MFT - Prayers die, Deepest Sympathy stamps (inside)
SSS - Birch Tree College die, Evergreen Circle die
Hugs,
TK

These are both so pretty in shades of Aqua and Lime Green. The background on your first one looks just so perfect as if you were stepping into a luscious forest. I just love the bold prayers die as it really catches your attention. Both cards will be appreciated. Thanks for making our colors shine at Color Hues.
What beautiful cards with a pretty colour combination and the shimmer from the pearls looks so pretty. Sorry you had to make the two cards TK but they are made with love and look peaceful and wonderful x. What a fun technique too with the alcohol inks and vellum x.
These are beautiful stand alone cards yet compliment each other when stood side by side. I have to admit to liking your first card a teeny tiny bit more, its the colour and the die is so pretty x
Two gorgeous cards - I'm sure they will bring comfort to the recipients.
Pretty sympathy cards, TK they're so peaceful!
Both cards are lovely! Your AI backgrounds are gorgeous, and I particularly like the wonderful frame on the first card. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
Sympathy cards are so hard to make, but you have made it look easy with these two beautiful and heartfelt cards! The backgrounds you created with the Color Hues combo are so pretty!
The backgrounds look magical behind the tree diecuts.
Beautiful use of dies and colors. I am so sorry for your loss. But I am sure these cards will bring comfort.
I think these are lovely. You achieved what you wanted and I like they are lovely fresh colours which is always good for these cards. Lovely shine too xx
Gorgeous, TK!
