Mixed & Matched

I love free-for-all assignments!  No limitations, just create!
Today I have two cards up with 
LITTLE YELLOW BICYCLE
I picked a couple of the newer collections and Naturals embellishments and went to town...

I pulled together a few different shaped pieces from the Vintage Summer 
 Decorative Edge Cardstock and Journaling Cards and layered them to create a fun background. 
 To help ground the design, I applied one of the green vellum tapes to a piece of cardstock, 
trimmed out and then applied it to the bottom of the card.

I used the warm and sunny vellum tapes from the Poppy Collection as the inspiration for this card.
 First, I cut a piece of cardstock to the desired size and then wrapped different pieces of the tapes
 around it, alternating patterns. Following in the color scheme, I added a few more items from
 the collection, along with a touch of black.

I Love to Color!

Little Yellow Bicycle is teaming up with Faber-Castell this week...
today is day #2 and I'm up!
I love thinking up new ways to add color to the Naturals Canvas pieces.  
For this card I took a large and small canvas daisy and separated the layers.  
On a heavyweight piece of paper, I rubbed out a large circle of Metallic Melon Gelato and 
combined it with a dollop of Gel Medium; mix the two until they're well blended.  
Using a stiff paintbrush, I applied two coats to the canvas petals.  I then reassembled 
the layers and used it for the focal point of my card!

 Faber Castell's Aquarelles aren't just for paper!  I used a trio of orangey-yellow hues (#108, 115, 117) 
and colored in two of the beautiful Nature Canvas Stickers.  Starting from the outside of each butterfly,
 I used the darkest color and then worked my way inside the design with the lighter two colors. 
 Using a water-brush, I gently blended the colors together...easy!
