There are some
really talented people on deviantART and some of them are lovely enough to make
their images available to download. I have
to say I am pretty pleased with how the image turned out, especially the
metallic elements.
I wanted this to
be a special card as it is going out to a friend for her 40th birthday so I decided
on a fancy parcel card. Given this isn’t
your ordinary flat folded card I am entering it in the current challenge over
at 4 Crafty Chicks. As it is a parcel
card I am also entering it in the Noor Design challenge.
The blank space
on the base is for a ‘happy birthday’ sentiment, I couldn’t find one in my
stash but wanted to get this posted up before I head out on holidays. I need to buy a sticker or something to have
the words pop. I did find the lovely ‘celebrate’
sentiment and some numbers in my sticker stash that did work for this. As the card is for a celebration I am
entering it in the current Brown Sugar challenge.
I’ve used a lot
of embellies on this card to make it extra special. All of the flowers are from I Am Roses. I bought a big supply of them all in white so
I could colour them up to match my projects.
My plan was to have them the same colour as the angel’s blue dress and
the berries the same aged copper but I didn’t have sketch markers to go in my
Copic Airgun so I had to settle for Smooch Spritz and Lindy’s Stamp Gang inks.
The theme of the
card is very much flying with my angel, butterflies and flying gear so I am
entering it in the current challenge over at Inkspirational. Being flying themed I have a lot of things
with wings so I am also entering it in Live and Love Craft’s current challenge. I couldn’t find a metal butterfly in my stash
the right size so I cut some from a Martha Stewart sticker border and layered
them up. I used pearls to add some extra
texture and scattered some yellow ones around as all my embellies were fairly
aged and the angel’s wings are a bright gold.
Given my pearls I am also linking this up at the Alphabet Challenge.
Now my friend is
a fellow Steampunker and this is a Steampunk inspired card from the angel with
her metal wings through to the gears and flying paraphernalia. There’s actually a pair of men flying zeppelins
under the die cuts on the base that ended up covered up that also suited the
theme. The current challenge over at I Am Roses calls for Steampunk and a butterfly; I’ve got both covered off and plenty
of their gorgeous flowers so I’m also entering this there.
