This week at
Squigglefly they would like us to use the 3 mediums that I listed in the heading--Ribbon, Floss or Twine. Well, I chose to use a
"ribbon" of raffia. What with fall coming on shortly and kids going back to school, I thought it was a great chance to make an encouraging card for a little girl returning to school! I love the look of Raffia on a card-makes it so down-homey! This image is called
digi pencil girl without glasses by Cheryl Alger, one of the many talented artists that you will find in the
SF Shop. I colored her with copics, double matted her and then attached the raffia ribbon and raffia bow with button attached.
Well, I had another image by
Cheryl Alger called No. 2 pencil with Dream so I created another card for the occasion. You'll find SO many images at the Squigglefly Store by this wonderful Artist-can you tell she's one of my favorites? Do know why the silver pen I used showed up so well on one picture and not on the other! I wanted to use the yellow glittered circle brad as the Sun on the page and the flower petals are the sun rays. I picked up some
blue and white Baker's Twine as an accent on the end of the card. Thanks for taking a look at my creations. Come and play along with our latest challenge and check us out each week for a chance to win some free digital images!
