I've been colouring this image for most of this week, starting and then stopping, as my eyes were playing up again. Eventually it was finished and I decided to tear it out rather than use a die. The image is called Delphinium and is by Delicious Doodles . I coloured it with my Promarkers and after tearing it I edged with Distress Ink. I generated the sentiment on the computer and tore this out too, edging it with Distress Ink and tying with a narrow lilac ribbon as a tag. My card blank is by Joanna Sheen and the backing paper is from a Papermania Capsule Collection in blue. I cut this with a Spellbinders grand nestie and matted it on to the purple card which is by Papermill. I used three little pearls in each corner and they are from Wild Orchid Crafts. It's a reasonably simple card but I think it looks quite effective and is for my niece's birthday (I have four nieces so I wonder which one will get this?).
I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Delicious Doodles - For Mother's Day or For a Special Female
4kraftygirlz Challenges - Anything Goes
Crafty Little Fairies - Add a Tag
Southern Girls Challenge - Floral Frenzy

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Hazel. Such a lovely image and gorgeous backing paper.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, beautiful Hazel ....Four nieces ...One stunning card, I think you have a difficult choice ahead as I'm sure all your nieces would love to receive this card.
ReplyDeleteThe delphinium is so beautiful and your colouring of the image so detailed and intricate. To tear round the image rather than using a die has retained the delicacy and movement of such a majestic flower. Inking the edges and treating the sentiment tag in the same way is so sympathetic to the Natural feel of beautiful balmy Nature. Beautiful background paper too Hazel ... It really emphasises the movement of flowers growing naturally.
This is one very beautiful card. Love Ingrid xxx ♥ ♥ ♥
It was certainly worth the effort, colouring all week, the delphinium looks amazing. A wonderful card. Michelle x
