Congrats to Charlene! Wonderful gallery! I picked Celebrate the Season and I kept the general layout and 3 images, but I changed mine to a spring card, moved the sentiment up and used different colors.
All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle. I started by doing a brayered background on white c/s using only the yellow/orange/pink sections of a rainbow pad. All of the images were then stamped using black ink and I sponged on a little more color under the ducks. With a very small acrylic paintbrush, I applied bleach to the flowers. Since I used a non-waterproof dye ink, the color bleached out perfectly. I used a white gel pen to help accent the swirls on the ducks and then applied glue to these areas as well as the flower centers. I sprinkled on glitter on the flowers and then edged it w/ a black marker.
I used a border punch on three sides and the sentiment was die cut w/ a small oval die and part of the crochet lace ribbon was added at the bottom of the image panel. I used a sunny yellow diamond ribbon for my bows and threaded a piece of the same crochet ribbon through the knot. Finished card is 5.5 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! Please drop by my blog for closeups, links and all the deets on our Sparkle N Sprinkle/Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop! The Write Stuff
