Good morning, Well it's been a amazing week weatherwise! Beautiful sunshine every day... mostly with a lovely breeze to make it very comfortable- especially sitting in the shade with a book or two to hand! I've even done a bit of sewing outside, dolly clothes for Charlotte, often easier to hand stitch them than get the sewing machine out as they are tiny and fiddly.
My card is for this fortnight's challenge at Crafty Catz.
Our fabulous sponsor this time is
The optional twist, chosen by Rhoda, is 'Embellishments'
I used a lovely sponsor image called Bubble Dreams, which I've printed onto a square panel of white cardstock and coloured with Copic markers.
I cut the same size square from pinkish DP then die cut circles to allow my image and stamped sentiment to show through, then used a bubble embossing folder. To embellish it I added a few tiny clear drops and printed some extra bubbles, coloured and fussy cut them, glued them in place and added glossy accents.
As always there's plenty of inspiration to be enjoyed over at Crafty Catz - our challenges are always anything goes, would be lovely to see you there!
Thanks for visiting
have a great weekend
Chris

Beautiful card Chris, love all the bubbles, so cute.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a wonderful week but today is abit dull and much cooler. You sound like you have been enjoying your outdoor time, I know I did but by Wednesday the temp in the back reached over 90% and I was melting so had to come in to cool off, phew, I would like it back now hahaha.
Enjoy your weekend. xx

That's a great image and coloured so beautifully Chris. I love how you made the bubbles look real! Your weather sounds idyllic! We are still keeping everything crossed for sunshine. Kids finished school for the summer today and of course it rained and is so windy!
ReplyDeleteThat's a super image and design Chris, would work very nicely for a teenager.

Great digi and fantastic backgroundpaper Chris.
ReplyDeleteLove all the bubbles.
Fabulous card Chris, love the colouring and those bubbles are wonderful and how nice to be able to sit outside, I can only do that in the Autumn or maybe spring as it gets too hot here for me, I'm enjoying my Winter months as we don't get that cold either..

Your card is so whimsical and beautifully detailed! The Bubble Dreams image looks stunning against the pinkish designer paper, and the circle die cuts with the bubble embossing folder add a delightful texture. The addition of tiny clear drops and glossy accents on the bubbles gives it a playful and charming finish.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card. Loving the embossing.
