This weeks images is 'Forever Friends' from Delicious Doodles and can be found in the Stitchy Store here.
The challenge is sponsored by StitchyBear Digi Outlet and the winner will receive all the images the design team used in challenge #194.
Here is my creation...
I coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir pens which I got for Christmas. I'm still figuring them out yet but I'm enjoying playing about with them.
I found some textured card the same colour tones as I had used to colour the image and ran them through an embossing folder to create some texture.
I took a couple of pieces of blue card and stamped and embossed them using clear embossing powder and a plaid background stamp to create a textured watermark effect.
I mounted the image on to a plaid paper to match the blue stamped corners and to make the image stand out.
I arranged the different papers on the background and added the image on top.
To finish I added a rosette, which I added blue ribbons to.
Then stamped, using blue ink, then black, the word 'Friendship' on to white card and inked around the edges.
Bits & bobs I used...
* 'Forever Friends' image
* Spectrum Noirs
* Embossed card
* Stamps - Visible Image 'plaid background' stamp * 'Friendship' stamp
* Clear embossing ink/powder
* Rosette
* Ribbon

Lisa, Great card. :D I like how you used other card textures for the background and I especially like the blue ribbon. It reminds me of all the mums I just made for Home Coming Season here in Texas. :D

This is great Lisa and the rosette is a brilliant touch! I love the image although the thought of a horse that close frightens me to the extreme! I once went riding and when I went back the next time she said they had retired him - I have felt guilty ever since - lol. Super card.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Sue Pxxx OSAAT teamie
