Hi, and for this week’s Peek Of
The Week I’d like to share with you a card I demonstrated on air about two
weeks ago. I love the affect that was
achieved. I just love fuchsias anyway, whether on cards or in real life, and
every year I always make sure I have one or two in my hanging baskets!
This particular fuchsia doesn’t
need watering every day, and is paper pieced by cutting it out in green, dark
pink and a lighter pink.
Keeping the green layer intact, I
cut into the dark pink and then the light pink to create the flowers.
Once they were stuck together,
well, they looked nice… sort of. They looked okay, but I felt they were missing
something (other than a hanging basket and some compost!). So, using my alcohol
ink pens I added in shade and texture before putting in delicate highlights
with a white gel pen.
The frame was made by cutting the
Decorative oval die out of white card and then from a backing paper from the
Country Manor Paper Pad. Possibly a bit
of cheating here – the backing paper is actually a tree, but I just cut out the
blossom because I thought it looked pretty…!
The card base was made from a tent
card, pink mat and then a sentiment printed from the Tattered Lace subscribers’
downloads.
A few pearls and a pretty bow
later and the card was complete. Hope you like it!
