Happy Tuesday to you .. .. I hope you have all had a good day.
Chances are if your weather has been anything like ours you have got drenched at some point. I had to time when I ran down to the greenhouse today so I didn't get rained or hailed on .. .. and even then it was touch and go as to whether I was going to make it!! Thankfully I did.
My share today uses a ribbon I have been dying to use for ages .. .. aren't I sad .. .. making my card to match a ribbon LOL!!!
This used:
Image: Digistamp boutique
Sentiment: Computer Generated using two fonts .. .. "Daniel Black" and "Pass the Chex"
Backing Paper: Nitwits
Distress Ink: Tumbled Glass
ProMarkers
Ribbon, flower and button from the Stash Box
The felt flower I have used was actually free with a Hero Arts stamp set a couple of years ago. Today it got to come out and play!!!
To make the circular sky around my image I cut a circle in some scrap card and lay this over my image which I had masked whilst I stippled the sky.
I really wanted to then draw a dotted line all around the edge of the circle but I was worried I would smudge and spoil my card .. .. and I just wouldn't have time to start again .. .. so I took the cowards way out and doodled around the outer edge instead LOL!!! Perhaps I will be brave enough to do it another day when I have more time to play.
I am also entering this into the Digistamp Boutique Challenge for May.
Right off to link up and then start a printing session.
Have a good evening everyone.
Love

I can quite see why you wanted to use that ribbon so much, it's lovely and designing a card around it doesn't seem to be such a bad idea, especially as the result is so brilliant :) We had the hailstones yesterday so a real surprise to see the sun today - the way the weather has been recently, it will be snowing tomorrow! If so, I hope you get the sunshine instead :) Hugs Elizabeth x

ReplyDeleteThe circular masking is very effective and the whole card is lovely. Why not start with the ribbon and build from that - as we can see - it works.
