May Card Swap

Another full month's swaps, lots to think about this month.

Alphabet - Z

I decided that Z would be for Zentangle.... I love to do this but fear that I am not quite proficient enough to show off yet!  


I printed the daisy onto pale lemon paper and then, after drawing in the zentangle, I cut and attached it to a circular card.  I printed out the sentiment onto the same paper, cut it out and attached it to one side of the circle. 




Colour - Yellow


This bright yellow card is a sketch card courtesy of Helen.
I like to think that the yellow matts bring all the elements together beautifully.

I received this beautifully stitched card, brighter than the camera shows.
Thank you BarbaraS.

Noobies
I found this card very difficult to create.  I thought it would be easy as it is a kit from a book, several years old but the papers are still new.  
The cutting was easy but the folding really had me thinking!!! I am pleased with the result though. 

I received this fascinating card by return.               

It came as a notecard envelope but, when I opened it up, I found a little fairy door inside.

Upon further exploration, the door itself opened to reveal a thoughtful verse.

Thank you so much Olive.      

Style - Spring Flowers


I used some patterned very fine paper for the background on this card. It is a very bright yellow IRL set on a pale lemon card.  I wrapped the top right corner with a paler yellow ribbon and then added my image on top.  I used pencils to colour this image, I wonder how it would have looked if I had watercoloured it?   I may have to find this image in my files and see how different it does look when coloured with paints! 




Technique - Tent Fold

Took some thinking through for me but in the end this card, courtesy of Pat fits the bill.  Love the folded fan.
