Where does time go? Just realised I haven't updated for a bit so quickly popping by to show you a little card and gift bag I made for a friend's daughter a few weeks back. You may recognise the sketch as one used over at Just Add Ink some time back...love that we can always go looking for a kick start and inspiration if we need it.
Would have helped if I'd not photographed a Whisper White card against a white background huh? Trouble with that was the misc dsp I used, it clashed with almost everything I tried, so I gave up and went with the white option lol...hope you can make out the card. The base is Concord Crush. I coloured the little flowers with Prismas then added Crystal Effects and some Dazzling Diamonds so there was a nice texture to an otherwise CAS card.
I'm still fiddling with this new laptop and to date I haven't been able to get the colours right, so I'm not sure how the colours will show up on other computers. Do let me know if it's garish won't you!
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back in a few days with this weeks JAI challenge project.

That little bag is gorgeous and so is the matching card. I might have to give making one a go :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely set Patrice. I'm sure the recipient absolutely loved them. I too struggle with Concord Crush, it is a very hard colour to photograph, doesn't matter how much you edit it either!!
