Hi everyone, hope you're all well and enjoying the olympics...I can't believe how much of it I've watched this time, I've only ever watched the swimming really before...
Anyway here's a card I made this morning, I hope you like it...
I thought I'd try something different today so I've used the saturated canary digi image for the first time and coloured in shades of violet using copics. It's also the first time I've attempted black/grey hair, I usually go for brown or blond. The backing papers are Forever Friends and Wild Rose Studio Bella. Both have been distressed using a Tim Holtz distressing tool and are matted with black card. I've added 3 flowers, the centre one has been made with a tonic petal pairs punch. I've coiled the wires on the outer two using a very thin ball tool. I've added 4 gems with my heat setter and some ribbon and lace from my stash...
I would like to enter this for the following:-
