Hey there! Hope your week is going well... mine has been absolutely CRAZY and there is no let up until Monday! I have been working (something I don't do very often) and it has thrown me completely off schedule. So... there isn't much time for crafting... boo hoo! But, I did find some time last night to make a card for one of the Flourishes release week challenges, The Name Game. The challenge is to use different crafting supplies/techniques on your card that correspond to your initials, in my case: RJD. My three items: ribbon, jewels and distressing.
I got out my Flourishes Peaches and Cherries set and colored up the cherries image with my Copic markers. I die cut the image with my Spellbinders Labels 2 die, ink distressed the image and they applied some matching want2scrap nestabling in black (the jewels). I cut a piece of My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 2 Rosy paper, distressed the edges and adhered it to my card base. I custom colored some ivory silk ribbon with a Copic marker and made my bow using the Bow Easy. A matching button from the Rosy collection was added to the center of the bow and the bow was adhered to the card.
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI cream; Gina K black; PP: Lost & Found 2 Rosy; Spellbinders Label 2 dies; want2scrap labels 2 nestabling; ivory silk ribbon; Copic markers; Flourishes stamps; Memento ink
Hope you get some creative time! Love what you did with this image too! Beautiful coloring and composition! Blessings...
