The card I've got to share with you today is one I've had such fun making this morning. I really have loved every minute.
I followed the current sketch over at Fetch A Sketch and here is what I came up with:
I had already decided to use this gorgeous digi stamp from Crafty Sentiments Designs, and decided on my backing paper at the outset. This paper was a freebie in the latest Cardmaking and Papercrafts magazine, and perfect colours for me!
I took a scalloped card blank and distressed the edges with Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord Distress Inks. I cut the paper to size and then distressed the edges using my latest toy, a distressing tool! It was such fun!!!!
I die cut the circle using core'dinations cardstock and a Marianne die. I then sanded it slightly and added some little pearls. The flourishes and flower and also Marianne dies, cut from the same cardstock and lightly sanded. The centre of the flower was one of the die-cut shapes that also came free with the magazine.
I coloured the image using a combination of promarkers and spectrum noir alcohol pens. I'm still very new to these pens and trying to get used to them!
Along with Fetch A Sketch I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:
