chalks and hair dye

This is a card that I made using the only Inka stamp I had that I hadn't yet used. it's a lovely photo stamp (she's called June). I decided I wanted to do it with the versamark and chalk technique. These weren't the colours I was originally going to go for, but as the chalks I wanted (spring colours) had fallen down the back of my desk, and I was in the middle of dying my hair so couldn't go scrabbling around, I made do with the autumn set (all night media) which were to hand. I then decided to use this lovely sheet of paper from the papermania vintage set. I was originally going to do this on a larger card and mount the picture higher, but then a big blob of hair dye (aaaaaaaargh) dripped on to the paper so I had to rethink, as I really wanted to use this paper. The foreground and background paper are all from one sheet, in fact even the tiny ladybird is from the sheet. I also used a tiny sliver which I stamped with inka's sheet music stamp to finish it off.

I decided the card needed a large flower, but I just didn't have what I wanted so I decided I would make a quick flower out of a button and punched hearts. quick?? I had no idea how fiddly this would be.

the result of this? I forgot that I was dying my hair, and left it on longer than I intended, still no one knows it wasn't meannt to be that dark!!
