Can't believe it's been over a month since I last blogged. Has been a very busy month but more on that in a later blog.
I finally got to play along with an Inkspirations Challenge. It is my good friend Bec's b'day and I thought this sketch would lend itself to a cute card.
Here's the sketch:
And my card:
I starter by flipping the sketch to suit my image. Keesh has got me into MFT stamps, although my colouring still leaves a lot to be desired. I used the 'Domestic Goddess' DSP as a starting point for my colours, adding 'Pool Party' and 'Calypso Coral', with a touch of brown for hair, and of, course, chocolate cake!!! Bec is studying to be a maths teacher so I embossed the background with numbers (non-SU). I even did some paper piecing, which is an act of love, as I don't like cutting (why else would I own so many punches & dies LOL). I added some 'Pool Party' ribbon (love the little ruffles), some sparkly glitter, and a sentiment from 'Teeny Tiny Sentiments' punched out with the word window punch. That's it, easy. I did intend for there to be more of the aqua than the coral but I ran out. Have to get some more as it is such a pretty colour.
Off to type another post explaining what I've been up to,
Cheers,

What a very sweet card Fi, l'm sure your friend will appreciate the personal touches you have included and your choice of DSP and image are just perfect.
Such a darling card Fiona! Love the PI image! You did a great job paper piecing her dress and the sparkly cupcake looks scrumptious!
Absolutely adorable Fi. The paper piecing on your image looks fabulous & I love your choice of papers & colours. The debossed numeral background is a really sweet touch for your teaching friend. I am sure she loved her pretty card. :)
PS Andrea's teapot card is gorgeous!
