Sorry about not posting much this past week...errr..nothing! I've been busy in the yard and with all the nice weather the shop has been busier than heck! That's a good thing in general but not for blogging!
I've been playing with this Flourishes card for days now. The stamping and colouring were the easy parts! This is one of my favourites and made the mistake of picking papers after I coloured instead of before. BIG lesson learned!
The image was coloured with the following Copics: YR00, RV21, R85, RV34, YG13, YG63, YG67 and C2. I'm my own worst critic but really like how this turned out! I coloured two images and then cut out pieces of one and layered them onto the original for a 3D effect with 1/16th thick pop dots. Some of the dots had to be cut into tiny pieces in order to make them not show.
Background papers are from Bazzil (sp?), K & Company along with unknown. The paper doilies were from my Candy that I won from
T-Bear's Touch blog owned by Trisha! Did I ever get some beautiful items in that box! I purchased a new Fiskar's punch at Wally World today and used it for my butterfly along with Glossy Accents and bling. Two background papers were cut out with Spellbinders and the pink embossed with Swiss Dots. The edges of the doilies and the patterned background paper were distressed with Old Paper. I also added Diamond Stickles to the sunkissed areas of the Sweet Peas and Leaves.The tough part with this card is trying to figure out how I can embellish some more with ribbon. I've tried two different types of bows in two different types of ribbon and I'm stumped! This past week I've been trying different papers, positions on the card along with others but this is as far as I've gotten.... yikes! Any ideas??
Thanks for looking! Hope you all have a wonderful work week!
Hugs,
Sheree
