Just a quick post to share a card I made with Phindy's newest freebie. The card is very simple, just two ribbons overlapped and a series of brads holding it in place. What I found most interesting about making this card is I used a new paper to print out the image. Usually I use Cornish Farms "Simply Smooth" but I decided to try an Epson paper called "Premium Prsentation Paper Matte". It gave a very different result - the paper absorbed the ink quite quickly which meant much more vivid colours. The blending seemed to go all right but I was quite surprised at how much darker the colours ended up.
Anyway, I'm entering this card into a few challenges as follows:
- Phindy's Place - use ribbon (I've used two ribbons - a solid yellow ribbon with a daisy ribbon overlaid)
- Pile it on - make it sweet (she truly is a very sweet looking bear)
- Stamp, Scrap & Doodle - girlie
Recipe:
- Phindy's Place - digital image
- Basic Grey "Bittersweet" collection - patterned paper
- Brads, ribbons - stash
- Copic markers
