Good morning to you all in the land of blog
Today I am thrilled to be able to tell you that I am a Guest Designer for the challenge at
with the theme of
A Poem as the main focus
Now I am usually an image sort of girl so this was a real challenge for me, but it is great to work outside of your box so to speak. So here is what I created for my inspirational piece.
It is an easel card. The easel itself has covered with a POTP square. The base colour and contrast is a deep burgundy pearlescent card. The papers are from a Papermania stack of mono papers. The poem located on the good old world wide web and the inner sentiment is from My Sentiments exactly. The ribbon from my stash, wrapped around the base of the easel and a double bow added over the top. Another POTP square holds the sentiment. Little pearls added to the centre of the daisies and an array of flowers from Wild Orchid and some from stash. I used the stem's from the flowers to twirl around my tent peg and added some large pearls to the return. The edges of the poem and sentiment have been airbrushed with W7 and if you can just see it I have used a stencil to create the little rose using a R59 for the rose and the W7 for the stem and leaves. The whole creation has been over sprayed with crafter's companion glitter lacquer.
