It's time for a new challenge with us on the
As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.
~~~*~~~*~~~
Today I have used the Farelle digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a pair of birthday cards.
My cards started in Silhouette Studio, along with a pretty foliage circle cut file, sizing the image and "frame" to fit on a 5" square panel. I adjusted the settings to print 0.25pt black lines instead of cutting the design. I used a font from my digital stash to create the sentiment then printed the image panels on X-Press It blending card, heat set, trimmed to size then coloured with Copic markers. I cut a matting layer for each card then coloured the edges to match the mermaid's hair. I made some card bases from 200gsm smooth white cardstock, adhered the matting layers and image panels in place with liquid adhesive. I finished off the cards by adding metallic green pearls.
Here is Farelle with pretty purple hair.
... and here she is with magical magenta hair:
This was my first time adding E11 to the Copic marker
combo for skin and I'm thrilled with the results.
