Happy 4th of July to all my American friends.. hope you have a fantastic and safe holiday!!
So I have the pics from those 2 days that I was so proud of to show you today .. my camera has a flower setting.. and what a difference that makes..just wait and see...
First off.... Color of Summer challenge this week was yellow.. yellow has never been a fav color of mine.. not sure why but have found lately that I am drawn to it.. I even bought a shirt that has yellow in it.. and I love it (the shirt).. weird... I decided to do two ATC's... I had 2 pieces of yellow paper that I had tried the stamping with bleach technique on.. stinky process but oooh they are beautiful... even the yellow..lol
Now back to my camera.. this flower setting is amazing... here's my peony...

Well am going to spend this very hot, humid day off painting..so hope you all have a loverly day...

Oh that bleaching technique is really something! It is so elegant and pretty - and works so well as a background to these beautiful ATC's. I especially love the second one with that sweet face and great fortune (I think?). Great work once again - thank you for sharing with us, xo
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Canada Day to you, Kath! I'm amazed at how quickly your flower garden catches up to ours down here. It seems like you were just talking about how cold and muddy it was a few weeks ago. Pretty ATCs.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a blast painting! :) I love the flower photos, I'll have to see if my camera has one of those settings! It takes me forever to sit down and figure out all the details of new toys... ;) And your trading cards are amazing! I love the color yellow, it lifts my spirits immediately! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your ATC's Kathy. Flowers are just beautiful as well. Thanks for sending the HH weather, appreciate it very much, NOT.
ReplyDeleteHope the show went well.

Melinda..lol.. have been painting but relaxing abit in between and going thru painting books.. too hot to be outside.. did alot of thundering etc but the rain/hail missed us...I don't have enough patience to figure these things out.. I start.. then .... first saw it when I was taking pics of Chaya.. there's a children setting too.. amazing difference.. not nearly as many blurry shots..thank you.. am glad you like my yellow cards.. first ATC's I've made in forever.. was fun..

i don't see my first comment, I try again, I have many trouble with google, so I said that I love your two creations...they are fun, cute and your photos are also very interresting. I want to try the bleach technic that I don't know, do you have a special trick?? thanks and have a nice week.xx
ReplyDeleteJust love these happy cards. Adore the second!!!
ReplyDeleteYour techniques are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love sunflowers, so this make a pretty perfect ATC for me, what a pity that I don't have a clue on how to create one, otherwise I would love to swap with you.
So great! I love that sweet face in the middle of the flower.
