Good morning, and thanks for joining me today. Some time ago, I ordered some images from Lilli of the Valley (LOTV) and haven't done anything with them. Came across them recently, decided I needed to change that situation. Here's the following card that resulted:
- Can't take any credit for the cute little bunny...was already colored when I started with the card (:-0). I did make the background of the very simple cardbase. (the black is what I placed the card against to photograph it just in case you can't tell this!). I airbrushed plain white paper with various dark pink copics using a piece of lace as a mask. The lace is sort of a tulle but with patterns in it and the flower pattern showed up pretty well using the dark pinks. It's covered up by the topper though! Used Memento New Sprout on a leaf stamp over the airbrushing. Used the same color to smudge around the S/Binder diecut image, while still in the die. Ditto for the tiny sentiment. Didn't have any pink ribbon that worked with this, so just took my copic marker and colored a piece of white ribbon.
- butterflies were from an embossed piece of vellum, MS punch that has multiple sizes on it.
This was an easy card - I love those LOTV images. This has been mailed to a buddy who's had a rough patch for a while, so I hope it cheers her to know I'm thinking of her.
Ya'll have a nice day. I'm off to take a class in Iris Folding. Something I've always wanted to learn.
Hugs & enjoy whatever it is that you're doing.
Another beautiful card! Love the design you used and the pre-colored images always make me happy too. GREAT card!
