Happy Friday,An autumnal card for today from the vaults, this was featured in Sues shows on Create and Craft back in October and I've checked the blog and can't find it on the blog. The reason I am posting this one is that I just lover the shading on the stamped image, made completely with Distress Ink pads and cut and dry foam. The idea of this one was to show that you don't have to be an expert colourist to use a stamped image.
I also wanted to show that I don't put a big bow on all my cards (just most of them lol)

Gorgeous It's lovely to see an image/scene as the focal point for a change You may not have to be an expert colourist you still need to be able to laycolours in the right places and know what colours to use AND when to stop!

Not a bow, but I like the flatter, tails only version!
ReplyDeleteWow this is stunning John so very warm and rich looking. I really like what you have done with the ribbon you have really shown us that we do not need a bow every time to give a card that elegant look, very clever indeed thank you.
