For my Design Team card I've chosen to make a birthday card and have stamped the image onto cream card as a change from using white which can sometimes be a bit stark. Colouring was done using Inktense pencils with a water brush and the image was cut out using a square die with pierced detail - a slightly larger square was used to back it. I added a small simple sentiment.
Stamp - From a Coffee Themed set by A & C
Square Dies - Noble Pierced Squares from Creative Expressions (Sue Wilson)
Love sunflowers and coffee - so this card really appeals to me! Awesome work! Happy Birthday to Allsorts. xxx
ReplyDeleteCream card works very well for the softer shades of the coffee beans and Sunflower and effective matting and layers draws the eye in.
