Once again it's time for another challenge at One Stitch At a Time .
My Card
The digi I was given to work with is "Pillow Talk" from Stitchy Stamps. Now a naked lady hugging a pillow is sooo out of my comfort zone, so I kind of fudged the issue. I chose to interpret the expression on her face as dreamy and romantic rather than sexy and I took it from there. I coloured the image with Promarkers, fussy cut it (not very well!) and then superimposed it onto the digi of a chair I found on t'internet.
My card is 6" x 6" I matted a very old piece of lavender paper onto the base card and then used Cuttlebug "Matelasse" embossing folder on a piece of purple pearl card. Both pieces from my bits box. The flowers are Cheery Lynn large, medium and small roses but I have made them to look more like daisies with a gemstone in the centres. The leaves are also Cheery Lynn Wreath Strip. A piece of lace and ribbon from my stash were added. I computer generated the sentiment and diecut using SB Scalloped Circles.
We would love it if you could join us in this weeks challenge. The theme is Use A Digi and if you use an image from our sponsor you could win seven digi images. So what are you waiting for?

ReplyDeleteHi Christine, very subtly done :) Beautiful card - she almost looks gift wrapped :))
ReplyDeleteYour link worked fine honey, Mr Linky can look as if he hasn't accepted a link, I think he take his time! Just wait a few seconds and then refresh the page, sometimes more than once. But, of course I'm always more than happy to sort out ANY issues - right down the breaking up hair pulling sessions in the Playground, snort.:)
