Hi friends!
Are you just drooling over the new SU! catty?
Ohhhh, my wishlist is so very long!
Today I had a chance to get crafty again and have been so anxious
to create a card based on one I saw in the new catalog on page 90 :)
I'll have to wait before I'm able to order currently being on a budget
so I did the next best thing and created the card using what I had on hand!
Using the dahlia digi set, I gave this base white cardstock a quick spritz with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Trunk Bay.
I'd normally jump through hoops trying so hard not to get any splootches
on the paper, but I actually spritzed and shook the bottle on purpose to get the drippings like in the catalog picture.
Small strip of dsp, some fun washi tape and a button/twine - Voilà!
So how'd I do!? :) Tee hee!
I really love how this turned out ~ normally CAS is very hard for me to do
but this was tons of fun!
Coloring this image was a bit time consuming, but since I know
that I could probably use this over and over,
I'm SO ordering this set the first chance I get!
Tomorrow night I'm taking our baby girl to the concert of her dreams
to see ...
One Direction!
That should be wild fun! Maybe I can sneak in some
markers and images and color a bit while everyone else is
bringing down the house - hee hee!
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card!! You did a great job interpreting the one in the catalog. You colored the flower beautifully! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteYou did fantastic!!! I love the yellow flower and the lovely splotches. That Glimmer Mist is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteohmy! I just love Dahlias and your cards are gorgeous- both of them! fortunately (?) I haven't yet seen the new SU catty.... whew. safe for now. HAHA! :)
ReplyDeleteClean and simple cards, even though the dahlias took time to color. You did it! They look terrific. I'm new to washi tape - and actually just used it tonight. On an envelope flap! lol Hope you enjoy the One Direction concert!
ReplyDeleteOhh Kelly these are fabulous cards - love the 'blotchy' spray effect :-).

Great case and really like your addition of teal - that spritz is cool (never used or heard of). Have a wonderful time at the concert! I completely understand tho about wanting to take your markers in ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous inspiration, your dahlias and cards are so bright and beautiful and I love your splattered mist background. xx
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful and wonderfully colored! Love the touch of spatters! Isn't being on a budget miserable when there are so many goodies to buy!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Kelly! I love your splotches!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Kelly! I love your interpretation, spot on!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Marsha
Your big, beautiful blossom steals the show on this card! Lovely! So glad you joined in on the fun at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card! Love the yellow/blue combo and your awesome coloring. I love Dahlia's and go to a Dahlia festival each year to see all the varieties. You can have a lot of fun coloring them for sure as they are so many fun colors and patterns. This is the first year I am growing some. I got "Christmas Carol" as it is the first play I saw my hubby perform in (he played Scrooge). I will let you know how they turn out. Since it is cold, I will have to dig them up and replant them each year I understand. Ugh. Could be why I didnt' try them. ha ha
ReplyDeleteWow, that IS a gorgeous dahlia! Amazing coloring, too! Thanks for playing along at CASology!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheerful card!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work with this stunning blossom, Kelly!! What a bright cheerful flower!!

ReplyDeletewow..what a bright and beautiful flower!

ReplyDeletegreat card...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The colors are a knockout and so is the design.
ReplyDeleteI have my SU! wish list ready. Hope to put in an order today (if there's anything left after paying bills from my smoking credit card.)
Beautiful card. I like yours a lot better than the catalog sample.
ReplyDeleteI love that vivacious yellow flower!!
ReplyDeleteI love Dahlia's. One year my mom planted a bunch of red ones in between her shrubs in front of the house. When they were all in bloom it was amazing!!! And she also had a big yellow "dinner plate" one - your cards reminded me of those flowers....beautiful!
