I've tried to create something different today and am out of my comfort zone, but you have to test yourself or else how do you grow! White space uggghhh!! It scares me LOL!!
Anyhow.... This is a new image in my shop just called plain and simply I Love You. Just because that's what's written in the balloon strings.
It was one of THOSE cards. This was not my first attempt, I had several terrible colourings and one failed card before I eventually got it something like passable! The image has been coloured with Copics. Because I needed to cover up some of that white space I sprinkled some embossing enamel, actually lots of embossing enamel. Underneath the image I've added a section of burgundy ribbon.
I wanted to try to do a card with a panel down one side, I've used some black card and design paper from First Edition I think it was (it's a bit that was left over in my scraps box). After putting the card together I noticed I'd smudged some red ink (my fingers were covered in it after all the colouring attempts). To cover the inky stain up I added some red and white twine tied in a bow. I then had this HUGE white space down the left side. So I had to add some red and black gems to cover it up a bit. CAS card ROLF who am I trying to kid!!! Over to the experts....
Hoping you'll be kind with your comments after my disastrous crafty session :/
