I am an absolute disaster at the moment - now I've lost my computer specs, or the tidy-up fairies have put them somewhere safe that I've yet to find! Here's another scanned picture and on top of that it's wonky and fuzzy, a bit like my eyesight! The image is a Sarah Kay stamp called Spring is back and is the Sarah Kay I've used the most. I've gone for the soft vintage look again and inked the edges of the image and all over the background paper with Antique Linen DI then sparkled with Platinum Stickles. It's one of the little cream square cards I'm trying to use up, so not a lot of room for any extras along with the image. I've simply wrapped around with ivory organza ribbon and added a bow, die-cut Marianne swirls, punched fronds and inked the edges, punched butterflies, found a couple of flowers in my stash, then finished with pearls, pearl snips and pearl hearts.To colour my image I used Copics: skin tones in my usual E000, E00 and E21; hair with E51, E53 and E57; hat and her trousers with E40, E41, E42, E43, E44; blues with B91 and B93; pinks with R81, R83 and R85; greens with G20, G21 and G24.
The Flutterby Wednesday blog challenge is for 3 hearts, along with butterflies or fairies - I hope that my three little punched butterflies will count. The Secret Crafter Saturday challenge is for stamped flowers, I hope that the flowers in my stamped image are ok. And finally, the Totally Gorjuss theme is for love - well I have 3 little hearts on my love-ly card!
Enjoy the rest of your day - I'm turning the room upside down to try and find my specs .. .. ..
Beautiful.. i love the soft colours and pretty flowers

Hi Annie,
ReplyDeleteFabulous card and I adore this lovely image. Just the right amount of embellies for this little cutie. There are some advantages to having to wear glasses all the time,hate them, at least I always know where they are!! Hope you have found yours now.

So pretty!! Thanks for playing along with my flutter by challenge!
ReplyDeleteThe card is a stunner despite your difficulties/battles. Thankfully my glasses stay perched on my nose except when I'm colouring or working close-up. But I do sympathize, the number of times I have forgotten which side I put them & then of course negotiating my work bench whilst midst project is not amusing, finding my glasses is likely to lead to a finger in some glue before hitting the glasses. I do hope you have found them by now.
