Hello, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - we want to see 'white' space on your card ('white' being open unadorned space on your card that allows the focal point of your card to shine).
This is version 2 of my card - you can see version 1 below.
My original intention was to use the diecut flowers as a mask while I coloured the background. You could argue that this works on two levels: the white space is actually the focal point, and the coloured background becomes the 'white space'. But I thought that might be pushing the definition a bit far, so I went with the conventional white space, but I couldn't resist some black splattering. Well, it didn't look finished...
The flowers were already coloured from the masking process, so I just added a bit of detail with coloured pencils.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see some more fabulous creations from the team, and play along with us.
Both versions are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteAwesome coloring [as usual] :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Another great idea for white space. I love both of course. the black dots are a great addition.
ReplyDeleteBoth versions are pretty. Love the yellow daisies.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am loving both the versions - and I think both more than qualify for the challenge theme! The daisies look smashingly beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh my is this ever so lovely!!! Looks like a printed card that you would find in a retail shop! Love the negative card as well but really swooning over the first one. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe idea to make the colored background to a white space is so creative! I actually like the one with the white silhouette flowers! Of course the first one is super pretty as well!
ReplyDeleteShirley!!!! These are both amazing!! You are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYour white silhouette is such a clever idea, love it. Both cards are gorgeous, Cathy x
