Variation

Hello,

I am trying another variation on the wreath card.
Supplies:  White and green card, Hero Arts background, Penny Black image, Arte Stamp sentiment, Distress inkpad, Kaiser rhinestone and a ribbon.

In reality the colours look better and I like the colour combination but I think the background swamps the image.

The wreath is a new stamp that has given me lots of ideas, some of which just haven't worked.  One I haven't tried yet is a kraft card using the image.  Too late now I am about to be picked up to go to Tullarmarine airport.  I will be flying out later this afternoon.  So exciting!  Although by the time you read this post it will be the last day of my trip

Orange

Hello,

Here is another card I did for a challenge and never got to post.  This particular challenge was to use orange.  As it happened I was at the hairdressers flipping through a magazine when an advertisement caught my eye and I came home and made this card
Supplies:  Orange card, Hero Arts digital image. Computer generated sentiment and Gel pen

It really doesn't look like the ad but I retained the colours and the cityscape.

Get Well

Hello,

Recently LIM had a one layer get well challenge and I just couldn't get it to work.  I was trying to add a drawn frame around the image and every time something went wrong.  Eventually I made this card but didn't post it because it wasn't a one layer.  At present I am holidaying in Europe so I thought this was a good time to post this card.

Supplies:  White and green card, Tiffany Doodles image, Stampin' Up sentiment and Lyra pencils.
