A colourful card today to brighten us up on this damp day! This card has been created using alcohol inks onto glossy card. Blotches of bright colours in a random pattern. I've then stamped using the Andy Skinner Antiques set using black Archival ink. Highlights next - black patterns using a letraset fine marker and white & silver highlights using gel pens - it just helps to define the image over the darker areas of colour. Then to finish - a few swirls cut out of black card with a Marianne Designs die and a simple colour mount. Very effective and vibrant!
enjoy!

Pretty Blue Flowers
I was so pleased with the photographs I took whilst I was in Cornwall last October and I was determined to use them in my crafting. This lovely shade of blue (I think it is a Phlox) caught my eye and I put it together with a pretty blue flower paper I had amongst my stash (origins unknown I'm afraid!). It needed a bit of a highlight so I thought the polka dot would go nicely. I was really pleased with the result!
