The 20th of each month, the Dirty Dozen Alumni host a challenge. Here are the guidelines for this month.Challenge Focus: A Valentine's Day/Love-y Dove-y card!!
Required Element: Texture!! Anything you can *feel* (ie: Fun Flock, Crystal Effects, Embossing/Debossing, velvet ribbon...and I am sure there are a million more things that I cannot think about!!)
Restricted Element: No RED!! Pink is ok...but no red...let's see what other colors we can use for Valentine's Day!
Well, I thought this "For the Love of Birds" (Our Craft Lounge) image would be perfect for this non-traditional "lovey-dovey" card.
The image is colored with copics, and the birds are popped up for dimension. My texture you ask? Well, the cs is textured, the card is very dimensional, and the filigree brads are textured. Hope this qualifies.
Supplies:
Stamps - For the love of Birds (OCL)
Paper - Wild Asparagus (MME), Tawny Light and Medium, White, Baby Blue Light (Prismatics), Neenah Solar White
Ink - Tuxedo Black (Memento), Brushed Corduroy (Ranger Distress)
Accessories - Nestabilities, Copics, Ribbon, Filigree Brads (SU), Pearls (Kaisercraft), Corner Tag Punch (SU), Flower Punch (Carlcraft), dimensional tape
Beautiful! Love the hardware and pearls, and your ribbon treatment ROCKS! Love how it's threaded through the nestie.
