Sunshine and Rain

When I made this card I wasn't sure what my idea would finish looking like, so I just went for it. I chose two backing papers from the Adorable cd, layered one on top of the other and folded the two opposite corners. I used a brush with a Tim Holtz ink pad to colour the turned down corners. After stamping out my image onto watercolour card I used my watercolour pens to colour and put it through my die cutting machine and finished off with stressing the edges with ink. I used some die shapes to cut the ribbon border and the rosette from white card and used the same Tim Holtz ink pad to colour to help tone things in. I placed green ribbon through the holes on the ribbon border and added green die cut swirls to the rosette. A sentiment and two little gems finished the card off nicely I thought. I have entered this card in the Crafters companion blog challenge
