This week's card was inspired from Whimsy's Challenge-monocromatic. I won't lie, the first time I heard I was to participate in this challenge I was deeply worried, but it turns out I had nothing to worry about. Actually, once I picked my paper and color the coloring came along pretty well. The image is called Hoody by Whimsy. The brown-ish flower was a white flower that I airbrushed. The yellow prima flower I also airbrushed to tone down the brightness of it. The flourishes are Tim Holtz flourishes dies. I used a couple of nestabilities on this card. The cute little clothes pins were also airbrushed. The printed digital paper background was embossed (digi background by Mel Stampz). There is a small touch of hand stitching on this card as well. The framed piece that hoody is on was deeply distressed first by airbrushing, then by misting perfect pearls for some sparkle.

Great card Nicole! I really like the shades of colour you've used... brown tones are the best!
ReplyDeleteTell me, where did you buy your airbrushing system? I'm thinking I need one.
I got mine from Madison Art Shop. They had the most reasonable price for them when we searched. It was 180 US + shipping and I paid 15$ duty when it arrived.
