OSAAT #159 - Bright



The theme for this week's challenge at One Stitch at a Time is 'Bright'. My designer this week was Jess and I chose the image 'Floral Cap Nouveau W' and it's available to buy at Stitchybear Digital Stamp Store. You can buy other letters but my daughter in law is Wendy and as she is very artistic I thought she would appreciate this image on her birthday card this year. The 'bright' theme also helped because her favourite colour is orange and that's pretty bright!! My favourite colour is green so that had to be in there too.

My card blank is by Joanna Sheen. I used Papermill green card and Papermill orange card as the mat for the image. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and then cut it with a Spellbinders grand nestie. The beautiful image didn't really need much in the way of embellishments so I only added some flat 'gem' stickers to the corners - they are from JJD Cards. I also added a green ribbon to the bottom and that's from the local market. Job done and it's all ready for Wendy's birthday in July!

The sponsor for this week's challenge is Stitchybear. Please check the challenge blog for prize details.

  2. Oooh I love this image, Hazel, and how you've kept the card bold and simple with a striking colour combination.

    Thanks for your comment on my blog... the oval die I used is from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Floral Ovals set. It's a lovely set of 4 dies, and very versatile. I use the biggest two dies a LOT. :)

  20. Fab card Hazel. To be honest I have often wondered how you would use the Monagram type images and this is great. Wendy will really appreciate the personal touch I am sure.
