I have made my card using the new image from
Emerald Faeries and her name is JEWEL.
DETAILS
1. Card is 8 x 8 and I have matted it with backing card from my stash.
2. Next layer is brown card and I have embossed it using the butterfly
embossing folder from Crafters Companion.
3. I then look the both backing cards and before I adhered them to the
card I wrapped a piece of brown lace across the centre.
4. The image was printed onto Neenah card and I have used my new
Derwent Inktense Pencils to colour her. As I am using shades of
brown only the pencils I have used are:- Madder Brown and
Dark Chocolate. I then used water to blend the colours and
give the shading. I then die cut the image using a Tattered Lace
die and used Tim Holts distress ink Vintage Photo around
the image.
5. The image was mounted onto the card using foam tape and I
have added brown pearls at each corner of the image and at
the corners of the embossed card.
To complete I created a bow also from brown lace.
So there you go, my take on a Monochromatic card
Cannot wait to see your creations.
Thanks for calling and for all you lovely comments, I really
do appreciate them.
Until Next Time
As Always
Take Care and Happy Crafting
