Here is another fun challenge brought to us by Stars and Stamps and Velda who designed our layout. I was surprised when I looked at the card and got the illusion that the designer paper was cut away rather than the oval flower being placed on top of square paper. It was a simple and quick, but fun, card to make. In retrospect, the bow is too large for the card, but it was already stuck down – and I wish I had every card I have ruined by trying to tweak it after it was completed – Sandy, Kris, and Dixie would each need an extra person to help them for a week!!! (LOL)
Here is the sketch:
Here is my card:
Stamps: Floral Digi (Fred She Said), Sentiment was done on computerPaper: Latte Stack (DCWV), Solar White (Neenah)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), V12, V15, G24 (Copic)
Accessories: Ribbon (unknown)
Thank you for coming by – I hope you had as much fun seeing the card as I did making it. Please feel free to leave a comment - I am always happy to read them.
I really like the effect, you're right the oval almost does look like it was cut out. I don;t mind the size of the bow on it at all, but I can truly relate to the experience of "not leaving well enough alone" and ruining a card because of it. I try to force myself not to dwell on it and move on to the next card.
ReplyDeleteI like that you used an oval, instead of the square! It looks really nice!
ReplyDeleteThis look with the oval is splendid. I always like to have a little twist and my own personality to add to a sketch.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the colors are my favorite!
