This first one uses an inka collage image on vellum. I wasn't quite sure what to do with this one at first, because of course attaching vellum has it's own problems. I didn't want to go the normal route of a brad in each corner, so I decided to sew it. This is the first time I've really had a go at sewing on a card. I will definitely do it again.
This also uses the background writing stamp.This card was a birthday card for my good friend Galina
For this second one I had stamped and watercoloured the nude zodiac from inka, and I was looking for a background. I decided to make my own. I used the background vines stamp, which will cover a c6 card in one stamp. I also stamped a flourish from inka over the corner. I embossed the vine stamp again on the scrap accross the card and embossed with copper. I made the scratches using a ruler.

I love the first one Joanne - that random row of stitching across the top really appeals to me

ReplyDeleteBoth very pretty love the colours & styles.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are lovely, Joanne. I love how you've attached the vellum on the first one. It definitely adds to the overall look of the card.
ReplyDeleteThe colouring on the second one is gorgeous too. Beautiful pieces. :)
Wow, both of your cards look beautiful.
