The challenge over at DCM was 'Copper'. They are using different anniversaries, and this week it was the 7th anniversary - copper or wool. So I reached for my alcohol inks. This took me well outside my comfort zone, I just don't 'do' this type of card. I stuck the plumbers tape down on some white cardstock, and cut the vase from Walk in my Garden at 4", then the bleeding hearts flowers also at 4". Then I ran them through my cuttlebug, using the script folder for the vase, and paisley for the flowers. Then the messy part, playing with the alcohol inks. When I was fairly happy with the result I mounted them with dimensional tape onto a black card that I had edged with a copper krylon pen - doesn't show up at all on the photo. The end result is okay I guess, just not my style.
fabulous card ! i just used alcohol inks for the very first myself tonight for a card at artsygirlz ! I will post my copper card tomorrow when its dry, love your take !!
ReplyDeleteA really unusual and lovely card, great take on copper.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are stunning - you were right to mount plainly - they would have been lost otherwise. Sometimes out of the zone is good for you :-)
ReplyDeleteIt may not be your usual style Enyfs but it certainly paid off!
ReplyDeleteLove the embossing detail on the vase.
Another cracker!! :o)
