Good afternoon all!
The card I am about to show has been inspired by a single ribbon bow that I took off a lovely box of Thornton's chocolatres I received last night from a good friend.......it is the first card I have made where I actually had the card all laid out except for the image, but even then I knew which image I was going to use! This was thanks to a coupleof challenges......
I Love Promarkers - Pink & Brown
Sketch Saturday - Sketch
LOTV - Ribbons and bows
The image is from LOTV and I coloured her in with Promarkers (Hot Pink, Cocktail Pink, Antique Pink, Dusky Rose, Pastel Pink, Almond, Putty, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Warm Grey5) and my Copic blender pen. I chalked the background with some brown to give it an antique effect. I was going for an all round antique look with this card as I thought the colour combo lent itself well to that. The background circle is Nesties Eyelets circle, the strip of brown is a Martha Stewart punch and all the card is from my stash. Oh and of course the bow is from the delicious box of choccies!
Hope you like it!
