I made my card base then added another panel on top. I used my stencil, blending the ink lighter and darker in certain places.Next I die cut my flower and leaves, inked those and added them to my card. A few gems, sequins and a pearl completed my card.
Smooth White card
Watercolour card
AltEnew Beautiful Day stamps
AltEnew Watercolours
Neat & Tangled sequins
Glamour dust
3d tape
I made my card base and then added a top piece using watercolour card. Then I stamped my leaves and flowers and coloured them in softly using my watercolours. I stamped another separate larger flower and another sprig of flowers and leaves on watercolour card. After colouring them all and fussy cutting them I added those to my card. Next I used glamour dust to the added parts, then watercoloured around my flowers. A sprinkling of sequins and my card was complete.

Viv - thanks again for the invite to be a GD! (and for your kind words!) I love your cards for the challenge...the first one is so pretty with the pop of pink against all the pretty swirling gray! And the second is such a gorgeous watercolored version of that Altenew stamp - I have it too, and you just can't go wrong with that beauty!!
Always such beautiful work from you Viv, these are more outstanding cards. I love the colour combo.

Love the new colourchallenge; those two are great together! You show it here; they all look great (your earlier cards too!)! Hope you make it a fun weekend (it looks so gray and wet here... Hugs, Gerrina
Wow ....Your cards are stunning. The colour combination is so pretty and both designs are beautiful. The blending with the stencil on your first card looks fabulous and your water colouring on the second one is beautiful, along with the fussy cutting and layering x. Glorious cards and thank you for the amazing inspiration x.
Happy New Year and here's to a healthy and crafty one too x.
I can't imagine how you just picked four cards from 2018 as I love all your cards! x
Stunning cards Viv! Pink and grey is such a beautiful combination!
Oh my gosh Vivien!!! Both cards are gorgeous, WOW!! I love the stenciled background on the first card, perfect for your bright die cut flower, the color wash on the second is amazing, love the dimension of the fussy cut pieces.
And what a gorgeous collection of some of your 2018 creations my friend, I'm thankful for helping me with mine.
Have a fabulous week.
XO
Way to put us to shame, Viv. Two cards?! Very different but equally beautiful. I love the soft flowing stencil with the more graphic flower on the first card, and Beautiful Day is one of my favorites and the trailing vines look fabulous with the flower.
Sorry I am so late at commenting mf.
Wow, 2 wonderful, beautiful cards. Just amazing.
At first I thought I would struggle with this colour combo but I am really loving the look it gives.
