ALTERINDEX2024 week 10: Black, elegant, pocket

Had a lovely hour yesterday, playing with the same colours of DI I’d used on my LIM leaves card, but this time on Glossy card and with stipple brushes. It’s a long time since these little friends of mine have been out of their basket. I used to use them all the time to add colour because I found it easier to place colour exactly where I wanted to AND because it’s good for you. There’s something about thumping a brush on that card – very therapeutic.
It has to be said that I’m not over happy with this one because I added micro beads in Sepia Accents but it’s given a bit too much dimension to the sunflower heart. Might just have to add more to the petals… will think about that one.
This one’s just a matted up version of one of my LIM one layer leaf cards. I liked the colour (Aged Mahogany) and the design, but thought it a bit too stark to stay on its own.

Two very beautiful & very different cards. I adore your colourful sunflower project. Very vibrant. I know what you mean about being inspired by others' take on a challenge. And you're right, LIM isn't always as easy or as quick as it looks lol. I've made cards which took an hour and look like I spent 5 minutes on it. Pxx
Fanatastic sunflower - love that stamp, it is fabulous - I want one, lol!!
Love the colours on your sunflower card, Cath. Fab image. The leaf card is beautiful too. So elegant. I think I'll have to pop over and check out the LIM cards - I need some inspiration.
Sure is a lovely and versatile samp Cath :) I've not tried adding inks with a stencil brush looks good :)

Love your sleeping sunflower girl. The colours are glorious against the dark (?black) you inked the stamp with. Could happily send ages just looking at this one in fact I might. XOXO Zoe

LOVE the stamp too, from which stamp company is it?
You have some beautiful stamps Cath but that sunflower collage is one of my favourites and it is stamped and coloured perfectly - as usual.
Hi Cath
Sorry I haven't stopped by for some time.

Exquisitely crafted, Cath ! So beautiful.
What a beautiful card! Fabulous stamp and the colours are scrumptious! (sp) Your LIM is simply perfect! I'm not good with white; backgrounds especially! I tend to get my inky hands all over it! Awesome Cath!
