A card for DCWV

Last post for today.....sharing a card for the DCWV May challenge, I have used paper from the DCWV Steampunk Botanica stack .........

The little birdie is paper pieced from the same stack, sentiment is a Tim Holtz's stamp. The flowers are handmade using Cherry Lynn die, these have been inked by distress inks, shaped and center embellished by chunky Glitter. The smaller flowers are punched out of scraps from the same stack and a flat back pearl adorns the centre, Clockface is fussy cut from the same stack and the flourish is another die cut by Spellbinder.

Here is a closer look............

An Inky Bookmark

 Hi
third post from me today, playing catch-up on the last day of the month :)

I made this bookmark for the Rubber Dance Art Stamps May Challenge. I cut some canvas and used Gesso on it. Played with the Camel Photo inks in various shades to get my background. Stamped with white color box ink and a Maya Road stamp.

I painted a portion of my bookmark with white acrylic color to create space for my stamped flower and colored the flower with thinned silk acrylic glazes by ColourArte in Apple blossom, Sea Spray and Kiwi. I mixed these and added a bit of black to Kiwi to get a darker shade of green . Added a multi-colored wool thread with few beads. The flower is stamped with Stampendous Rubber stamp

Actually I was working on two bookmarks but the stamping went wrong on the second one...but still sharing the second one too ( Bibi, that is NOT my entry for the challenge please hehe)  !!

This is the lovely color theme and the optional theme of flowers for the challenge 

Also linking to http://mixedmediamc.blogspot.in/2015/05/mixed-media-monthly-challenge-12-may.html, was inspired by the lovely colors and flowers in the  pic
