Beccy's Place is always one of my favorite places to play and Beccy always offers a freebie, which you can use if you wish. I usually work with something from my collection of her images, as I did this time. I adore this little critter and he was perfect for a Welcome card for a new neighbor who moved here (California) from Wisconsin.
I colored with ProMarkers, adding highlights with a white gel pen, then cut the image with a hexagon die from Spellbinders. The card base is made from smoky gray CS, embossed with my 'Linen' folder. The dp was a left over scrap from previous projects which seemed to work well with the overall design. I cut it so that I could line up one of the 'corners' of the hexagon with one of the half-diamonds on the paper.
I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, and added it to the upper corner. Finally, I 'dyed' one of my hand sewn bows with a lilac ProMarker, added a gem to it, and called the card finished. It's a card for a guy so I kept embellishment to a minimum.

That's all I have for today. I hope your weekend is going well and that you found a bit of crafting time. I've been at it since very early yesterday morning since the weekend is pretty much when I do my crafting these days. I've already completed 4 cards and have 3 more planned for completion today. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

hahaha! I can always tell which are your cards before your blog even pops up. This is darling, Connie, and typical of your fun sentiments, too! I think once a Californian, always a fruit and nut, because I'm a transplant from CA to CT and FL and still am fruity and nutty in my own special ways. Wonderful card, Connie, and your neighbor will love it! hugs, de

Gorgeous card NC! Love the sentiment and I'm sure your new neighbour will get a kick out of it too. I really like the way you lined the image panel up with the patterned paper... that's a nice touch. The coloured bow is great too, I like the tip of colouring with your markers for an exact colour match. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
