Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n

Eid will be celebrated nect week and as it’s such a major celebration in the Islamic calendar I always make cards to send to family, friends and neighbours.  What I tend to find is that Eid cards can be quite traditional so I decided to break from the norm and do a floral set of fresh, modern cards using CraffTangles products.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/a>To start off I wanted my cards to have a softer look to them and I achieved this by not using a black ink to stamp with.  In fact I used a grey which I often do when I don’t want the image to appear as bold.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nOnce I stamped the image I then went in with the liquid watercolours to paint the image, adding shading where I thought it needed it.  I finished with the Eid Mubarak sentiment.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI’ve always been in awe at the sets of cards my fellow DT members have come up with in the past and so I thought I too would do a set.  This meant I used the same grey ink to stamp all the images and sentiments.  Being a floral set, the only differences with the set is the variety in floral images used and the ink colours to paint them with.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI admit I was so tempted to add more to the background but I stopped myself and decided to go for a clean and simple look.  I think you’ll agree using this style makes the flowers the stars of the cards which is what I set out to achieve.<\/p>\n

See you again next week!
