Hello, nearly the weekend again.....yay!!! But, can we please have the nice weather back?!......I much prefer the sun to the rain lol.
Now, today's card. I decided to make one of the sketches that I did at the weekend into a card.
I've drawn the image from a photo of me & my younger cousin. As you can no doubt gather, it was taken quite a while ago..........lol.
The floral paper, which I really do love is K&Co & I've then used two different tones of Bazzill cs. As of late I just had to do a little distressing........don't really know why I like this so much at the moment. However not just content with fraying & inking the edges I've also embossed them with gold.
As with past cards I have clear embossed the image, but along with this I've also done the same to the floral paper & I'm really pleased with the effect its given.
I've then added lace, eyelets, ribbon & finished with doodlebug rub-ons for the sentiment.
Thanks & also apologies in terms of the card shape. Thanks for the inspiration gained from other bloggers (that I have seen) who have used this shape & apologies as I can't remember where I have seen them so can't give specific thanks. However, I've thought all have been fantastic!!
Anyway, another day, another football match!! oh joy..........but, at least it means I can hopefully do a bit of blog hopping later lol.
Hopefully see you again soon,
