I went down the right column
Pearl/Frame/Lace
using Kyliee from our sponsor
I tried to cut a frame aperture in my base card, but it didn't go through properly.
I was going to throw it away, but then I thought I might repeat the error instead.
This gave me a second frame layer that was nicely embossed rather than cut out.
To add interest to the background I inked
and stamped the word Love in a variety of fonts
The inking made the semi cut shapes stand out even more.
I coloured Kyliee with promarkers...
and glued her behind the frame.
I had the perfect coloured lace to add across the bottom,
and some soft green pearls to give her an earring.
I added another to her gown and the "o" in the sentiment.
...
Just for fun I tried going for a "Full House" as it where.
The snowflakes are embossed into the base card and everything else except the main image is stamped directly onto the card as well :D
Unfortunately the green ink I used for the deer and the lace border
looks more yellowy on the photo...
looks more yellowy on the photo...
but it just proves it can be done :D
Enjoy :D XXX
