Faith has announced that she will be
no longer running the progressive freebie challenge at Delightful Inspirations. I was
quite late to the party but have still had so many lovely images and I am
really grateful for all the time and effort that Faith must have put into this
challenge. I hadn’t quite finished my card using the last freebie so wasn’t
able to enter it into the linky before it closed.
This is my finished card and I would
like to dedicate it to Faith with gratitude for all the fabulous gifts she has
given us.
I coloured the tree with Pro/Flexmarkers
and decoupaged the stitched hearts to stick on with 3d foam. I added the little
bunny rabbits under the tree which were a freebie from KL Dezign. The heart doily was
from a big pack of 4 different sizes that I got from the Grand Designs show at
the NEC last month. There was this fab stand with cupcake and baking bits and
these just called out to me for cardmaking. I used some of those metallic waxes
that you apply with a finger to
highlight the roses and the Love sentiment which are embossed into the doily.
I bought some duster brushes for
applying ink onto your cards as the lady demonstrating them made it look so
easy. I have to say I am most impressed with how easy it was to distress the
edges of my card with clumping it on too heavily like I did before. This is a
combination of Tattered Rose and Tea Dye Tim Holtz pads. I was intending to
leave it like that but after taking a photo decided it looked too unfinished so
added two punched leaves and a flower in the top corner and a Martha Stewart
heart lattice punch in the bottom corner using a scrap of pink card from my
box.
