Combining Two Forms of Art

I know if you received this card, you would wonder about me.  I have combine two forms of art in the card below by using my Gelli-made cardstock into a card.  I am really pleased even though it is a little on the wild side. I finally had a chance to use one of my Stabilo pens.  By outlining the flowers it made the flowers in the background appear on top.  A little ribbon and a small bow finished the card.

Forgot to Post

Here is a card I made not too long ago for Lunagirl, but somehow I forgot to post it on my own blog.

The Lunagirl image is of three women.  I used a burgundy colored base card with beige designer paper on it.  The matting of the image is green to make the little bit of green in the image pop.  A final embellishment of a wide ribbon that has a lacey edge was placed at the bottom accented with a burgundy bow to match the colors in the image.

Lunagirl Moonbeams' Challenge

The Lunagirl Moonbeams are having a "Shabby Green" challenge.  It is the perfect challenge for the beginning of Spring.  All the creations from the Design Team have many shades of green on them.  Dig around in your stash and create something that is "Shabby Green" for Lunagirl.

Besides using different shades of green, I did do something a little different.  I cut the lacey part of the ribbon I had and used only the lace this time.

Second Week of Ribbon Challenge

We are beginning the second week of "Use Some Ribbon"  We have had some great entries so far.  The Design Team is hoping to see more entries, so take a little time and create something using ribbon.  To use the shortcut to the challenge, click on the link on the top of my sidebar.

I made a romantic card this time.  I used a flowery designer paper for my background and a pale blue piece as a mat for the Lunagirl image.    The ribbon this time was accented with a doily-shaped piece of cardstock cut with a Cricut.  The pink flowers make the flowers in the designer paper pop.  Love is in the air as it will soon be Valentine's Day.

My tag was treated with Gesso then spritzed with inks.  I used a stamp image that came free with a magazine, they are called Pettit Prints. I used a Recollections pen on the can and gel pens on the flowers.  The sentiment is from different alphabet stamps I have.  I finger pleated the ribbon down the side and tie the tag with the same matching ribbon.

I've been making ATCs for Valentine's Day and decided to share this one since I bordered the ATC with ribbon.  The red ATC base is covered with designer paper, which is covered by heart-designed vellum and then i added my images and embellishments.  The little girl and the bingo board are by Gecko Galz.

This week I used ribbon purely as embellishment on my card. The base is a white slightly textured card layered with old German book text. I added an old postale tag, some washi tape and a stamped postale image. The image is lightly coloured with chalks.

This week I used a "freebie" image from Bugaboo and I wanted to get a jump start on my Christmas/Winter cards for this year. I thought this image was so cute, On Thursday I picked up some Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, yes the hold-out has caved. This was my first attempt at using them and they really work nice. The sponsor for this challenge is Sweet  Stamp Shop and the challenge is to use some ribbon on your project.  I used white ribbon from Stampin'up and a snowflake ribbon brad, I have had the package for over a year and finally broke it open, The ovals are cut with Nellie Snellen oval dies.

I made the top part of this card and showed it here on 30 August, but I wanted to make it a bit more special for our granddaughter's birthday and add a sentiment just for her, so I used it to create a twisted easel card, using some toning patterned paper, ribbon, glittered strip and gem strip with a prima flower as a 'stopper'.
