J'Adore


Hello All,

Well this card was a bit of a happy accident....a case of a card that just happened rather than having any sort of plan....I had been working with Kraft card....something I have not done that often...and still needs a lot of practice!!!....and I made a card, that I really don't like......anyway on the floor a piece of this stripy "my minds eye" paper fell over some Kraft Card...and I liked it together....My craft ultimate pro was just lying there so I embossed some scallops cut it out and stuck on the card......I was just going to leave it half done for another day when I remembered I had this Paris themed paper....so I cut out the Eiffel tower..... stuck it on and that was the start of the card.

I then used my new "Sheena Douglas - My Fair Lady 2 set".... This image actually has 3 people on it, but I cut the last lady off so that I had a romantic couple instead....I coloured with copics....I have layered up the hat to add dimension and added a little stickels.

Just to finish off I added the fancy corner....and a sprinkling of gems......and actually for me the card came together quite quickly, It just kind of happened!........a little different but I am quite pleased with the results.

This is my entry for:

Let Ink It Up - Anything Goes
One Stitch at a Time - Love/Valentine
Cupcake - Something New (new Sheena Douglas stamp)
Bunny Zoe Crafts - Love it in the Air

Thanks for looking......and thanks for putting up with me as I experiment with so many different styles!!

Hugs Juls

    Oh this is terrific! Don't you just love it how you can remove things from an image to create an entirely new image, not to mention happy accidents rule!

    Hi Juls, what a beautiful card. The image is lovely and I really like the colour scheme. Great idea to cut out part of the Paris paper to highlight the Eiffel Tower. Thanks for joining in with my "something new" challenge over at cupcake craft challenge this week. Hugs, Denise x
