This a card I made a couple of weeks ago when I was practicing my colouring. I need to do a bit more practicing methinks. Actually, the later ones I did with the Sarah Kay stamps were an improvement. Even I could see that.
Red spotted paper matted onto red then white cardstock. An LOTV image matted on red Spellbinders Labels 1. The sentiment was stamped in gold onto red Labels 1 and again matted onto white Labels 1. A little red ribbon tied into a knot and a few red star gems from my stash added into opposite corners. I always think knots are a bit more "manly" than bows, but I have been known to use a bow with a darker ribbon.
I have been playing around with a few things the last couple of days so that's why I haven't much to show.
Hope you all have a good day today.
With love from Christine xx
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeletewhat a really lovely card. The image is sooooo cute, and the colours so wonderful and vibrant. I think your colouring in is lovely. Far better than mine.
Have a great crafty day everyone.

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteWell the colouring looks good to me and I love the bright white with the red for the colour scheme.
Hope you are having fun playing around. It's great to just play sometimes and not actually make anything specific. I find it gives me great inspiration for things later on.
Have a fab and fun weekend.
Big hugs Linda x
