This month Beccy's Place has a wonderful, free, digi image that I knew would make some lovely cards. I downloaded it, opened it in paint, resized it, and hit print. Guess I should have saved it first because what printed was way too big for a card. My second attempt was much better and the image was ready to color. I used pencils and a clear Wink of Stella brush to blend the colors and give the flowers a bit of sparkle.
But I wasn't about to waste the large image I had printed,
at least not all of it.
Challenges:
Beccy's Place July Challenge - AG with an image from Beccy's Place (I didn't use the twist of CASEing myself.)
Aud Sentiments Challenge #231 - Bingo + a sentiment ( I used the diagonal row from bottom left to upper right: Ribbon, Digi, Die Cut.)
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #521 - Ribbon and Sparkle (Image covered in clear Wink of Stella, sorry it doesn't show in the photo.)
Lovely cards, thank you for joining us at CRAFT Challenge. And yes, you are correct, the sparkle does not show on the images however hard I look.

These are both beautiful, Debi. I especially like the pink, bigger version - glad you didn't waste that print!
ReplyDeleteI really like the offset layout on this card and the hash-stitched dies cuts really give it a great texture, which is echoed in the ribbon. Very nice : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it with us at A Place To Start!

ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Debi, you've done a fabulous job! Even though it wasn't what you intended, I really LOVE the second card... definitely a happy accident. Well done.
