What dumbfounds me is how a set that I love so much is so difficult for me to use and create cards that make me as happy as just looking at the set. Explain?!
Anyway... Mom and I were playing in my craft room the other day and I decided to use some beautiful ribbon as my inspiration and then turned to Doodle This to make something beautiful. I like the idea, but the execution isn't quite what I had in my mind... I think next time I'd use my water brush or perhaps my blender pen to make the marker look a little less vibrant.I think that part of what makes this card not exactly like my vision is just the colour combination... I'm not a big fan of these two colours together, but that was what was in the ribbon... and I liked the ribbon!
items used:
*Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Whisper White and Green Galore
*Images: Stampin' Up!
*Ink: Stampin' Up! Basic Black Classic Ink, Green Galore and Pink Passion Markers
*Embellishments: Ribbon by May Arts or Maya Road (can't remember which!)
*Tools: Cuttlebug and D'Vine Swirls Embossing Folder, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig
I like it a lot!! You're making me want that set... grrrr ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeletelove the brightness of the colors Nancy. very nice
ReplyDeleteLove this card. Makes me want to get my stamps out and create.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the beautiful RAK I recieved in the mail yesterday! I love your doodle cards but I know what you mean - it looked great in the catalog but can be difficult to produce something yourself....
ReplyDeleteI kind of feel that way about this set too. I just got it recently and I was DYING to get my hands on it and it's just not really inspiring me the way some others do. Weird, huh?
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant colors! I think it looks great!!
