Hey bloggers!
I'm sorry about the long wait for a post. I've been uber busy with school work and exams this past week so it's been reeeaally nice to have a little play at my messy desk this weekend :) Here's what i've come up with....
At first, my plans were to make a card with a little box inside, but i changed my mind at the last minute and put a pocket in instead.
The front is following the sketch from Simon Says Stamp, and i used Prima papers, a Tilda coloured with distress inks, some pearls and ribbon and lace from the ribbon girl (my prize from Just magnolia last week!) It is hand stitched, inked with Vintage Photo distress ink and distressed with scissors.
It is quite similar the my last card but i really {love} these papers and the image!
My photos are rubbish again today i'm afraid. I'm really struggling in this horrible weather to find any decent light!
Distress inks used:
Skin - Antique Linen & Tattered Rose
Hair - Vintage Photo & Black Soot
Top, present, socks and bow - Weathered Wood & Black Soot
Trousers - Vintage Photo & Black Soot
The heart is cut from chipboard and then covered in the Prima paper, inked and crackle painted.
Here is some natural twine which i bought the other day, tied into a bow, with a butterfly charm :)
The back...
For the inside, i made a little pocket for a gift card/money etc, and then on the right panel is a blank bit to write a little message on.
I'm also entering this in:
Just Magnolia - favourite things
Really Reasonable Ribbon - heart
Stamp Something - anything goes
Thanks for looking
