Bonjour !
Comme les jours passent vite ! Je ne sais pas pour vous mais ce début de semaine est très pluvieux et très venteux, à croire que le soleil a disparu ! Cependant la nature renaît petit à petit et les crocus sont en fleur, les jonquilles en bouton et les tulipes commencent à sortir ! Ça sent la fin de l’hiver et le retour des longues journées avec de la lumière ! Et en parlant de tulipes, aujourd’hui ce sont les deux challenges suivants qui m’ont inspirée.
Hello !
How the days pass quickly! I do not know about you but this beginning of week is very rainy and very windy, we could almost believe that the sun has disappeared! However, nature is reborn little by little and the crocuses are in bloom, daffodils in bud and tulips begin to emerge! The end of winter is close by and the long light days are coming back ! Talking about tulips, today, these two following challenges inspired me.
Et voici ma carte. And here is my card.
J’ai tamponné les tulipes avec de l’encre Versamark et j’ai embossé à chaud avec de la poudre blanche. Ensuite j’ai colorié avec les crayons pinceau aquarelle et quelques touches de crayons de couleur. J’ai découpé l’herbe avec un die et j’ai colorié avec le même crayon vert.
I stamped the tulips with Versamark ink and I heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I coloured with watercolour brush pens. I die cut the grass and I coloured it with the same green brush pen.
J’ai embossé en blanc car ça me rappelait la neige que l’on voit sur la photo au pied des tulipes. J’ai collé l’herbe, puis j’ai tamponné et embossé le sentiment.
I heat embossed in white because it reminded me the snow that we can see on the picture at the bottom of the tulips. I adhered the grass, then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment.
Pour finir j’ai collé l’image sur une double carte avec de la mousse adhésive et j’ai ajouté trois petites gouttes transparentes. Et voilà !
To finish, I foam mounted the image on a double card and I added three clear drops. And Voilà !
Ah, et pendant que j’écris ce post un intrus est venu s’étaler sur mon bureau déjà bien encombré !
Ah, and while I write this post an intruder has sprawled on my already cluttered desk!
