I've spent a lot of time in my craft room this week, so I'm playing along in a few more challenges...Here we go ~
Muse Challenge #165
First up is a card I created for the CAS Mix Up May Challenge, this week's Muse Card Challenge #165, and Winnie & Walter - Join in and Win Challenge. My card design is based on this gorgeous card (above) by the amazing, Anita Bowden. Here is my take:
I chose a slightly lighter shade of pink for my 'white space', and went with Anita's design and white embossing technique. I used pink and white Prismacolor Pencils to shade the petals and leaves, and added a few silver sequins for some sparkle. To fulfill the parameters for the CAS Mix Up Challenge, I stamped and heat embossed the flower, leaves and sentiment, and for 'my choice', I masked the elements on this card. For the Winnie & Walter challenge, I used all of their products for this card.
Here is a close up of the coloring:

I also wanted to share a card I created for the SSS Flickr Challenge #44.
This (2 week) challenge closed yesterday, and the theme was Mother's Day and/or Flowers. Since all of my Mother's Day cards were done, I decided to use the SSS Spring Flowers stamp set, and colored them with Brushos. The 'You' sentiment is also a SSS Exclusive set, and the patterned paper on the left side is from my stash.
So, that's it for me! Thanks so much for stopping by ~ Have a great weekend,

Beautiful work, Barb! I really love your Spring Flowers card! I'm using a gc to get that set even though I told myself I have enough flowers--haha!
What stunning cards you created!!! I love how you used the Prismacolors. I am TERRIBLE at them and even though I try, I struggle getting the look I want. The colors on your second card are just lovely!!
Fabulous florals Barb. Each one is lovely and fits perfectly with their challenges.
What gorgeous pink and white florals, Barb ... so elegant and so beautifully shaded! Those softly coloured whimsical blooms on your second card are just lovely ... and delightfully whimsical ... love how the die cut shades match the flowers! Hugs, Anita :)

Two beautiful cards. I love your first one--so very serene with it's limited colors. And, your second is also gorgeous and colorful. Love how you colored those flowers.
Barb your Muse and your SSS Flickr cards are just so gorgeous! The white embossing makes such a statement and those flowers are coloured beautifully!!
So much beauty, love how you have done these. The Love you card in pink so soft and pretty and the one under, that Simon Says flower is a stunner.
Great cards, I love especially the second one.

A duo of dazzling florals, Barb! Love the pencil shading you added to the first (note to self: DO!) and the brushos citron palette of the second. Stunning!
