I am hosting this week's Challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenges, and I decided that this time I choose a theme. We're in March, and what theme is better than Spring? So I chose to base my card on these lively colours.. with lots of flowers in the background! That's what I mostly love in Spring.. flowers.. of all kinds and colours! As DT work I can't take part in the actual challenge, so I based my card on Mojo Monday's sketch! Read about it here:
This week it is Contest week over at Mojo Monday, and I couldn't resist to use this sketch.. it is lovely; and offers a lot of possibilities. I have used anotherHAnglar image for this card, and although I kept it quite simple and clean, it really stood out.
I coloured with the usual Distress Inks, and have worked a bit with the ribbons I used. First I positioned the pink satin ribbon with double-sided tape, and then I chose the green polka dotted one to place on top. I threaded some green thread through the length, and put it on top of the pink.
I didn't glue it in place, but positioned the image ready with the matt to see where I want to create the design (Don't know what to call it! sorry!!) I cut the thread, leaving some extra length on either side; and then pulled gently until I got the effect I wanted. I left underneath the image straight, so that it will stay flat. I also opted to created a different, stapled bow for a more funky look.
To finish off the dainty look, I embellished with a crotcheted flower and pearl brad.
The white background is embossed with Stylised Flowers Sizzix folder.
Swirl stamps and sentiments are Studio G.
As you see I stuck to the idea of decorating the inside, I like it and get to use some of the scraps from what is left. Have a lovely Blessed Sunday.
Thanks for looking
Blessings

Beautiful card, Rosette. The insides of your cards are always just as pretty as the outside. Mojo Monday is one of my favorite challenges - I love how you interpreted the sketch.
