you MUST use at least 3 EMBELLISHMENTS.
Bring on the flowers and bling. Use up your ribbon and lace. Find a spot for brads and gems. Heck, add hardware if you want!
I went for the simple card again. I need to build up a small supply again as my pile is being depleted and given to the birthday people on their day.
The main image is the Tree Nymph. Coloured with promarkers before being torn around the edges and ink distressed. I chose both skeleton and die cut leaves to begin with. The die cuts have been sprayed with copper mica spray before attaching to a plain green circle. Some wood coloured mesh ribbon and some natural raffia along the bottom. all these mounted onto an embossed piece of copper card. I coated the embossing folder with DI first to give that extra definition. All mounted onto a deep green card base. Some alcohol ink coloured dew drops to finish off.
I based the layout loosely on this months sketchy over at the Smeared and Smudged forum. and will be entering it into that challenge.
Come on peeps - get those bits and bobs out that you've been hoarding and make something to show us.
love it, the image and the leaves work so well together
