Good morning and happy St Patrick's Day to those who celebrate it.
We have a new challenge for you from Cardz4Guyz where our theme this month is :-
LIGHT BLUE and BROWN
Here's my take after a bit of head scratching!!
I've known about the challenge for quite sometime and had lots of ideas buzzing in my head but I couldn't quite settle on just one, so this card was made a bit last minute! It nearly didn't get made at all as when I started to colour my LOTV digi image, my E57 Copic marker decided not to play. Perhaps I had neglected it and it had dried but all it did was leave a blotchy mark. So I abandoned it and went to watch the new Scarpeta on Amazon Prime. It's base on the books by Patricia Cornwell that I've read, about an ME in the USA, a bit gory and the stream played up, but overall I quite enjoyed it. Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis were great as Kay and sister Dorothy but Lucy, not what I had pictured in my mind's eye. Benton wasn't quite as suarve as I imagined but Marino is OK. Anyway, back to my card!
Coming back to the image the next day, I thought I could rescue it, waste not want not, and I think I have, adding some white gel pen to create a tweed cap which I then coloured over with a blue marker.
After finishing the rest of the colouring, I fussy cut it out, printed off some matching DP from NitWits and got ready to assemble.
Textured shaped panel on foam pads over DP onto a card base and a stamped Uniko sentiment, the image was also added on pads.
There are a couple of other challenges around that are featuring blue and brown, so I will join in there too.
If you need more inspiration please check out the rest of the Cardz4Guyz team here. Looking forward to seeing your makes in our gallery.
