As I needed a birthday card for a customer before the weekend I decided to have a go at this sketch challenge. It took me ages to get it right, I had the idea in my head but none of the bits seemed to work, the air was a lovely shade of blue for a while :).
Anyhoo, I decided to go with this image and matching papers from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley-Mayhew cd. I decided that the puffins would be perfect as the card is for a Shetlander and we have lots of puffins here. I decided to use a dark blue card and then covered the front with one of the matching backing papers. Then for the horizontal element I used a strip of the blue card and a strip of silver mirri card embossed with the swiss dots. For the vertical element I used the dark blue card again and matted a strip of the second matching paper onto it. The topper was matted and layered twice onto dark blue and silver mirri. I hope you like it
This is such a lovely card Beryl and perfect for the area you live in. Puffins always look so sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Beryl. I've never been sure about using the backing papers that repeat the main image but having seen this card I can see it works really well. Thank you.
