Over on the PaperArtsy blog this week Keren Baker has been weaving her magic again, I loved this project and here's my take on it which I am submitting for this weeks challenge.
I didn't have any graph paper but used a Hot Picks stamp and grey versafine to create a similar effect and I've used a JOFY birdcage.
I've used the MN28 stamp instead of text for the bird and diecut it out. The DI used were peacock feathers, shaded lilac and picked raspberry.
I coloured some seam binding to match and having read Shirley-bees recent post I soaked up the remainder of the DI from the mat so I have a couple of backgrounds ready.
Here's the finished card complete with tiny bird cage. I haven't used shrink plastic for ages and forgotten how much fun it is to use....when it behaves that is!
However I didn't stop there, I'll be back later with a couple more simple cards that I made having been inspired by Kerens stencil fun.
How lovely - so delicate and ethereal... can't wait to see more!

Fabulous card, Ruth! I like how you created your own graph paper - and you had better luck than me with shrink plastic, it never behaves for me!
ReplyDeleteI so love this Ruth, the colours are just beautiful, your stamped graph background is a perfect solution to having no graph paper, and I love the gorgeous coloured ribbon and shrinkie bird cage. Mo x

ReplyDeleteLovely card Ruth! xx
ReplyDeleteI love this, really nice!
ReplyDeleteYou've managed to keep the ink out of the leaves so the design is well defined. I didn't find that easy, I did it 3 times and I still have ink where I shouldn't!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! I love seeing other people's takes on things. I'm so chuffed you liked my project enough to do a take on it. I adore the way you've coloured your seam binding and then used the spare ink to make more backgrounds- I'll have to remember that too!
