That's right. I want to be able to make elegant cards like Anne Ryan. So today, thanks to her, I gave it my best shot. Plus I am using a variegated bow she hand made for me, so that should help a lot!!!
Didn't get my nap yesterday, so I went to bed around 7:30pm and slept the whole night. Didn't get up my usual two or three times to go to the potty. I feel so much better today. I think Rosco went to bed early too.
I was inspired by Anne's bow as to what colors I was going to use today. I stamped the tree and clear ep it. Then stamped the leave things in the three colors.
Stamped the farm life animals, clear ep them then colored with copic markers.
Stamped and clear ep the grass using the sedge filler, then sponged over top with the lettuce green.
Masked off the farm life and tree then sponged the crushed curry color, and stamped the dusty durango with my new cloud stamp.
Had a left over part after I had used my nesties, so I made it into a frame.
Put layers of cs out of the three colors , on a white card with the image on top. Popped up the frame and added the gorgeous hand made bow from my friend Anne Ryan.
Well, hope you like this............TFL :0)
