Before I show you my card I'd like to thank you all for entering the tag challenge, the entries were fabulous and I'm going to find it very hard to choose my top three.
Our sponsor for the challenge is Crafty Individuals.
I coloured a white card blank with peacock feathers Distress ink. I decided that it was too strong a colour for what I wanted so I adhered some white lace round the edges of the card.
I coloured a Sizzex Alterations embossing folder with peacock feathers and wild honey Distress ink and then embossed some white card. I coloured the edges of the embossed card with vintage photo.
Using a Heart Squares Spellbinders die I cut two squares.
For the image I used a Crafty Individuals stamp masking the face before colouring it with wild honey.
I used a Marianne die for the hearts.
I embellished the card with a couple of pins and some seam binding that I coloured with peacock feathers.
The rest of the Design Team have made some fabulous samples so why not visit the Craft-Room to take a look,

ReplyDeleteHi Hazel
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card and the peacock feathers is one of my fav colours at the moment but as you say it can be a little strong at times.
I love how textured this card looks.

This is absolutely beautiful Hazel and the layered lace over the ink is fabulous. I would never think of putting these colours together but they are a wonderful combination. Inking the embossing folder is something I've never done, and the result is lovely.
