I have done it again - yes there are lots of masculine cards needed at this point in the year for me, I think I think I am over the worst of them - for now. It also just happens to fit the sketch challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges.This image is the last one of a group of images that Francie G on SCS sent me a couple of years ago - thanks so much Francie.
I painted it with watercolour crayons, sponged the edge of the image with blue ink, and then mounted it on some pale blue foil that I have had for a-g-e-s, after running it through the cuttlebug using the d'vine swirls folder to give the illusion of waves.
This was mounted onto some dark blue cardstock.
I then ran the red stitched ribbon across the base of the foil before mounting the sentiment, (Tiny Happy Birthday from Hero Arts ), which I had embossed with clear embossing powder over the same blue ink that I had sponged the edges with.
I was pleased with the outcome of this card.
Thanks for calling by and I really appreciate you leaving a comment - your comments are a real blessing.
