SSS Friendly Frolic BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY


Hi there everyone and welcome to day one of the Friendly Frolic Release Blog Hop! Make sure you read until the end for all the details and a giveaway!

 ¡Hola a todos! Bienvenidos al primer día del blog hop que celebra la nueva colección "Friendly Frolic" de Simon Says Stamp. Leed hasta el final para saber todos los detalles y participar en el sorteo :).

 BREATHE IN DEEPLY


For my card today I've used the stamp set "Sketch Lotus Flowers" and...let me tell you something: I have just realized this is a lotus (duh?), so those colors don't really go with it and also I painted a leaf as a flower. BUT! You can see the versatility of the stamp right? Hope so :).

 Para mi tarjeta de hoy he usado el set de sellos "Sketch Lotus Flowers" y...os voy a contar algo: me acabo de dar cuenta ahora de que la flor es un loto, así que esos colores no pegan ni de broma y he coloreado una hoja como si fuera una flor. ¡PERO! Así ves cuán versátil es el set ¿no? :)
Moving on! I used masking to create my main image, then colored it with Copic Markers and fussy cut the whole thing. For the background I used the die "Diamond Pattern" and the sentiment is from the same stamp set I used for the flowers.

 ¡Seguimos! He usado la técnica de enmascarado para crear la imagen principal, la he coloreado con rotuladores Copic y la he recortado con las tijeras. Para el fondo he usado el troquel "Diamond Pattern" y el sentimiento es del mismo set de sellos que he usado para las flores.

    I wouldn't have thought anything of your pretty color choices... artistic license, and all :-) And I used to have lotus blossoms in a pond at my house when I lived in FL for years, until a crane came and tore them all up trying to catch the koi :-( We replaced them with cheaped, hardier aquatic plants but they weren't anywhere near as pretty!

  65. Unknown27 July 2018 at 20:32

    I couldn't have told you what color a lotus flower should be either but I can tell you the colors you used are stunning (and I still can't find the leaf colored as a flower LOL)! The sentiment is what got me tho', I fell in love with that one. Thank you for the inspiration.
