Card Chain Challenge - The Card I sent My Partner

It's so much fun to decide what to make for your partner who will be receiving your card.  We could have chosen any or multiples of the selections below.

I just went for the beach scene and I'm glad I did because I love how it turned out.

             

I had a new rubber stamp and matching die I wanted to color and use.  I don't think she even minds the sand in her high heels.  Of course a beach is nothing without Elizabeth Craft Designs sandy beach and waves with Palm trees and pail.  I colored the palm fronds and the lovely young lady from Rubbernecker with Copic markers.  The sand and Palm trucks are sponged with distress inks.

A Father's Day Card

My friend Nancy Edwards used the cutest image for a card she is giving her husband (on Facebook) and I had to have it.  I love Nancy's coloring and all the special things she did to make her card an EVENT worth celebrating for Father's Day.  Visit Nancy at Pink Panoply to see her gorgeous card.

I stenciled the background with "wall paper" and I'll call the floor a "rug".  The image was easy to fussy cut and I adhered it with glue-dots so the image would not be pressed close to the paper.  I was going to pop it up on foam, but actually forgot to do so in my enthusiasm to put the card together.  I'm very happy with the results.

I think this is a picture of a guy relaxing on the weekend with a cool something in his hand to ward off the summer heat.

Card Chain Challenge Card for May to Deepal

Check out the Card Chain Challenge to see May's entries!

I made this card for Deepal and still cannot send it to her because the U.S. Post Office is not accepting cards going to her country at this time.

There were three themes I could use to make a card for my recipient.  I chose the one that had fruit associated with it.  And the fruit is the lemon or orange sticking out of the drink with a grape under the umbrella.  Not much fruit, but I really liked this digital image and after this pandemic, I'm sure everyone will be looking for a refreshing drink somewhere tropical.

Most of the time, I don't know what colors will call out to me when I choose a certain image to color.  I knew I wanted to color this fairy in a red tone, yet not pink, so I chose R81, R83 and R85 for the basic dress.  I color the face and then the dress and let the other colors follow that lead and this is where that led me.
