I have 2 posts today ... If you are looking for my post for Papercraft Star ... Please scroll down ... Thanks!
I made this next card for 2 challenges ... First up I used this week's sketch at Just us Girls which finishes on Thursday ... hence the reason I am posting it today ... Here is the sketch
It's been ages since I played along here and I loved the sketch ... Though I ended up flipping it ...
I used the colour combination from CR84FN60
I found these colours really tricky ... But what started my card was this gorgeous image from The Graphics Fairy ...
I just fell in love with this little boy and his surroundings ... and this is what resulted
The blue papers are digital papers By Chrissy W at Two Peas ... The green is Core'dinations
and the grape coloured tissue tape was made by me ...
When it came to embellishments ... though my grape coloured roses looked lovely ... they were just not appropriate ... so I took a button and glued rope around in a circle leaving the end loose and popped an eyelet in the centre ... dunno why ... just like it!
The shells I have are ... well ... 'shell' coloured ... and I was highly delighted to discover that I could change them to green and grape using TH distress Stains ... The green one really look like they have algae on them
A piece of netting and some plastic 'twigs' (snapped of from a piece of home decor) and it was good to go! ...
Here's a little close up of those shells ... Jeez I'm thrilled with them
... and that I managed to stick to the sketch AND keep to those (difficult for me) Colours!
Phew! That's it for today ...
Thanks for stopping by
