Nicola set a grand challenge this week:
The challenge is
Aperture....Ribbon & Doodles....
Of course it involves using a download from Charmed Cards, then it can be one or more Apertures,one or more ribbons and hand drawn Doodles.
I absolutely LOVE the Design team's cards - get on over and check them out!!
Here's mine:
I really struggled with the card this week!! I have a lot of ruined cardstock and paper.... This was about my third attempt... and even then it's changed a bit... I started off with a pink baby girl card, as you can see - it's now BLUE!!
I just did not like any of them...
I used some plastic from the bags I put my cards in ... and put it behind the aperture to look like glass... Still not happy with it ....
I came back online to read Nicola's post again... I had totally forgotten about the ribbon ...
and so I went back to my desk, ripped off the bloom I had on the front and cut up some ribbon, found the baby eyelets and added some MORE doodling!!
and here you have it - the finished card... Now I'm going to look for my Mojo! Sorry for the looong post!
What a gorgeous card!! I love the aperture window and the way you have framed the image inside. The doodling is just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt may have taken you some time but it was worth it, super card!! xx

Sammi I agree with Karen, it was well worth the blood sweat and tears because the finished result is awesome! I think the ribbon looks really fun like that. Great work chuck. Thanks for playing.
