Bike to bouquet.... I started the week with a manly motorbike and today I bring you a floral offering. It's not about versatility, folks. Necessity is the driving force behind this production. I needed this card for yesterday. Things have been pretty crazy around here and this birthday slipped through the cracks. Nothing a little extra postage for express delivery can't fix...
sigh. Here it is:
 |
| The papers are from a 6x6 pad based on the work of Edith Holden, called "The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady". I'm not entirely sure about this card. I made it half asleep...the ribbons look wonky, not thrilled about the colouring either. An off day. :-( |
 |
| The focal image is the Morning Glory Digi Stamp by Sweet n Sassy. They are sponsoring this week's challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I coloured it with Promarkers. (flowers: Petrol Blue, Marine & Duck Egg ; leaves: Olive, Pear and Leaf) |
 |
| I'm keeping this card as flat as poss. No foam tapes, just 3 button and some bits of ribbon. |
 |
| I'm taking the ribbon banner idea to the inside. Now I have to come up with a suitable explanation for my near miss. Not sure if I have enough room for that... |
And for challenges, I have:
Tuesday Morning Sketches 201 - sketch;
Colour Q #192 - colours;
4 Crafty Chicks #145 "Flowers";
I Love Promarkers #171 "All Stitched Up" and
Word Art Wednesday #83 "Anything Goes";
I hope you've had a productive week so far. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow with a DT project for PolkaDoodles. See ya!
Beijinhos!
Its a wonderful card and the ribbons look fine, because of the curve of the layers. Love the colours! TFS

Hi Asha, crazy here too lol...love your card it's awesome and the colours are like wow...take care.xx
ReplyDeleteLove it Asha, you know the ribbons do look wonky but I thought that was the design to match the frame until I read it wasn't, so guess what, it works!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Asha! Some of the most wonderful designs are being created when time is sparse:) No matter how many cards I make during a month I always seem to be a card short for a special occasion - isn't that odd...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers and fab stitching.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining this weeks challenge at I ♥ ProMarkers.

ReplyDeleteI WISH my off-days let me create cards like this! I happen to love it :) Awesome colouring, and the stitching is AMAZING! Now as to the near miss...I refer to that as 'shoemaker's children' syndrome, see. Then again, it happens often enough to my family & friends that I had to come up with SOMETHING! lol
ReplyDeletecolouring looks fantastic to me and i agree with karen the ribbon looks fine because of the curve of the shapeand love the pretty paper
