Great challenge on Squigglefly this week-- --Wrap It Up - use your imagination. Wrap ribbon or twine around a layer, wrap a die cut around a corner, use wrapping paper instead of designer scrapbook paper, use an image with a wrapped gift...
I chose to use this with my dog bones twill ribbon, which I wrapped around the front panel of my card. That way the twill showed on the inside of my card also! The image I used was called Puppy Love by Fawn Palmer and as a grandmother of a pre-teen, I adored working with it! The long blonde hair was fashioned after her and she loves the color purple. I used a patterned paper to simulate wallpaper and then the solid for carpet. I used 2 new methods on this card that I've never tried before: choppy straight lines to simulate dog fur and alternating hash lines on her blue jeans with colorless blender to show distressed areas. The tut said to use the colorless copic then, when dry, to go lightly over that with E41 to create the beige tint that they sometimes have. I like the effect! I added some charms that I had to the knotted ribbon~a heart that says Love and an enameled Top Dog House. I've got SO many charms from when I used to sell on Ebay that I've GOT to start using them more-they make such cute accents! So go grab any of your Squigglefly images and get to wrapping! A chance to win a free image from the artists' gallery is well worth the effort! See you there!
A very cute card, Carolyn. Your coloring is great. Your blog is letting me post today. I have tried every week. Have a great day.
