The main
basis of the card is a shaped card available on the cd-rom and I added a spotty
paper again from the cd-rom to create a square card.
I just love
the chandeliers in the arched windows of the shop and just had to attack them
with my trusty glossy accent…only after spending half an hour trying to de clog
the tip. I think the end result deserves the effort.
Something was
missing from the scene and eventually it came to me…it needed an ornate lamp
post. I used a stamp from Kaiser Craft and stamped in black and added clear
embossing powder. Once dry cut the image out with my trust craft knife. Added
some yellow ink to the lanterns and again I added glossy accent to the glass
panes of the lamps. I wanted it took look as though they where light.
The Lady was
a didgi stamp and I coloured her with my basic dark set of Spectrum Noirs and
my water colour pencils I set about colouring her in. Added glossy accent to
her shoes and matching patent handbag. From the didgi stamps I coloured and cut
another hat box and placed it under the existing hat box she was carrying using
3d foam pads.
Cut the
little Scotty dogs out – no need to colour as they came out the printer in
black and white.
Cut the
flower planter out and the sentiment was cut out using the Die’sire Scalloped
Tag die. Added some grey ribbon with silver edging. With a piece of pink and
white bakers twine I attached to the back of the Scotty dogs and to the wrist
of the lady to create the dog’s leash.
All the
elements of the card are now ready to be assembled. 3d foam pads used to add
dimension to the scene, but something was missing. So I left the card for a
while and started on another project and eventually it came to me…it needed a sumptuous
bow, so that’s what I did. I think it adds the much needed finishing touch.
