It's been a couple of days since I posted anything but mother nature kind of controlled our weekend what with tropical storms and earthquakes swirling around us. Nevertheless, I got to spend time hiding in my craft room so I worked ahead on a few DT projects and then created this card, using a Mariola Budek image. If you follow my blog (or even visit fairly often,) you know how I adore her artwork/images.
For this one, I colored with my Sanjoki markers, then cut the image (and the frame) with QuicKutz dies. I used my 'Linen' embossing folder on the frame CS before layering on the image piece. I cut the printed sentiment with a die from Avery Elle, and added a frame from a scrap of the same embossed CS.
Because I mail so many of my cards, I try to keep them flat and simple but I have been playing with different ideas for the backgrounds, also wanting some visual or textural interest in even the simplest of cards. For this card, I dug into my stash and found burlap paper from DCWV. I trimmed it to fit the card front, then added the image and the sentiment.
That's it for today. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
