I'm hoping the relentless rain eases off later because I have to venture out to post off a birthday card today if it is to reach its destination on the correct day so it will be a case of donning waterproof footwear!!

Make My Monday Autumn
The Autumn theme continues at Make My Monday and this week they want us to use some vellum. I came across this image on Joanna Sheen's Royal Horticultural Society collections CD. It was printed onto both card and vellum and I've also used a strip of the matching backing paper on top of the main background of Prima paper. The vellum was torn across and then layered onto the topper. Edges of the papers were sponged with Cranberry Adirondack ink and the ribbon was also dyed using a pool of the ink spritzed on a glass cutting mat - fingers now an interesting shade so I really should remember not to get dye inks all over them!! A simple stamped greeting finishes off this card.

This is just absolutely stunning! Such a gorgeous piece of artwork--LOVE your use of the vellum! Thanks for joining us at MMM! :)
ReplyDeleteSuperbly effective with the torn vellum & the matched up images. You've matched the warm colours of the fruits beautifully with your various elements & that ribbon is so suggerestive of the softness inherent in the peach.

Ooooh, they look good enough to eat Val! Beautiful Autumnal card and the fruit make a gorgeous alternative to the leaves that I would probably have thought of. The Cranberry ink is a perfect toning match for the image and I can just imagine what your fingers looked like after dying the ribbon, lol!
