A difficult age to make for isn’t it especially for a young girl. Had so many ideas which when i really looked were all too twee or girlie. Wanted something a little more elegant without it being too grown up.
Used Memento Dew Drop ink pads for the petal shapes. Used a Liquitex White Marker and ‘smooshed’ over the top of the petal colours. After they were dry stamped over them with a swirl stamp from stash and with a Darcy Wilkinson stamps from her new release set EDY07 using Cocoa Memento Ink.
Drew around the edges of the petal shapes with a black fine liner pen, then with a Sakura Glaze Pen and finally doodled around the shapes with the Black Liner Pen to add a little interest.
Cut out the sun shape from the EDY07 set, coloured with Kaiserfusion Pens, added Colall glue into the centres to adhere a small bead, then added the Glamour Dust. Added a doodled circle with the Liquitex White Pen. Raised the centres by using a 1mm pad.
The sentiment is from a Get Stamping freebie set, mounted onto black card and adhered into place.
Hope you think this is grown up enough for a 16 year old, looking forward to your comments.

Very,very pretty, Love the delicate background stamp in the petals, and the centres are just perfect. I think you got it spot on for the age group.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work. Love the details. Lucky 16 year old and hope that she appreciates all the detailed work involved. X
ReplyDeleteI think this is perfect. I love the way your design covers the whole card. It's young and fun but cool and not too girly or childish. I think it would be lovely for any age; but especially good for a 16 yr old. Gorgeous work! Julie Ann xxx

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! xxx
ReplyDeleteI think it's great... the flowers are bold in shape and size, and the colours are subtle, which means it's definitely not girly, but very sophisticated - love it, and I'm sure she will too.
