Psst Dani and Taylor

I think by now most of you will know that I love monotones, so I set to Designing with this image from Mo Manning at Digital Pencil, I coloured the image using the Promarkers Ice Greys 1-5.
The swirly diecut is a Bigz Die - Decorative Accent w/Flower , the flower itself I explain further down the posting how to make it.
I finished with a couple of ribbons, one sheer white and a black gingham on top.


Attention to Detail...

A close up view as I wanted to show you the shadow under the girls boots.


The flower was made using punched card circles, distressing the edges then scrunching them up, next unfold them and add a brad to the centre.

Winter Scene

I started with a white 15 x 15cm base card and scored lines across the bottom edge using a ScorPal, the image which is a stamp by Serendipity which I inked with Brocade blue ink by Stampin Up then cut out using the long rectangle Nestabilities I then mounted this onto the card at the top an added a little stickles to make it sparkle.


A pretty blue sheer ribbon was slotted through the ribbon tag then tied in a bow, I then added the Tree charm to the bow, the charm brads make a pretty accent to a card and they only cost £1 for 6 of them from here



On the ribbon tag by Spellbinders I stamped the Papertrey Ink wording in the same blue ink as the main scene then swiped the ink pad all around the edges of the tag
