DH is going through a bit of a rough time at the moment, so I thought I would make him a card to cheer him up, and my starting point was the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge # 79, and this is the result.
I love this image available from Priscilla Styles and it so lent itself to this challenge - well I thought it did!!
The image was printed three times and coloured using chalks, ink and gold kindy glitz, although I don't seem to have been able to capture the sparkle it gives IRL.
The gold dp in the background was punched on either side with a Martha Stewart punch, and the sequins draped around the panels and secured with glue dots. The sentiment I hand printed with a lovely gold pen I have. (I think the brand is Signo).
I was pleased with the card, and DH was happy to receive it.
I am linking this to these challenges:
Thank you for calling by - May your day be blessed
