Welcome and thanks for stopping in. Today is a scheduled post, as I'm trying to get some things done ahead. This is a card created from a UFO image colored long ago. Did a faint script stamping over the previously colored pineapple when it was rediscovered, then some sponging for the background. A little vintage color was added to the edge of the rectangle.
Some feather dies cut with white snippets, sponged using a finger dauber & pale green ink, then some very dried out Novu gold mousse rubbed over the raised areas. These feathers made me think of the pineapple's green leaves. Lastly added some clear drops. The background was done with gold mica spray over a stencil (used the wet color left on the stencil to create this background). Don't you love it when you can make 2 backgrounds with one effort? I sure do. This is a very simple card, but I rather liked it!
Ya'll have a good afternoon, stay flu & bug free. Hugs & Blessings. Come again when you have time.
This is gorgeous, Mary!! The pineapple is beautiful!! The feather die cuts are fabulous!! Love this!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

It may be simple Mary but it is also beautiful! That pineapple looks good enough to eat... Apologies for being missing, have been away. Hugs, Anne xx

I love that beautiful work that you done to create that stunning image.
I don't always understand how you have created it as some of the things you use I have never heard of but it such a great image and the colours are beautifully created.
Love the slight scrip in the background also.

The die cut leaves complement the pineapple perfectly and I would have never have thought to put them together. Love the extra attention to detail with the gold mousse, script stamping and the vintage colour on the edge of the rectangle. Gorgeous card and Yes...love it when I can get two backgrounds from one effort x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pineapple, my friend! Your coloring is beautiful! I love the depth and realism! And the soft script stamping is perfect to add depth and not detract from the main image! Love the gold touches on the feathers! They do look like leaves. Hope you are staying healthy too. So much sickness around!

Beautiful card, Mary! It's nice to find those UFOs and give them a second chance! Thanks for the visit and sweet comment! Please don't worry about not visiting - I'm doing this differently now and won't be visiting much either. There are only so many hours in the day! Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
