This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
I made this card for the sketch challenge on SCS. I was going to title it, "How to convince your husband you need more ribbon even though you already have a ton" -- but that name was just a little too long. Truly though, if you did show this to your hubby, he would totally understand why you keep "running out" and why you need more! I got this idea to use lots of ribbon from Karen V. (gamblemom) -- she did this on a card not so long ago. It makes the card kind of busy, but I think it is fun. The ladybugs (or ladybirds - for Alli), are watercolored using the red ink pad and my aquapainter, and then glazed over with crystal effects. Sentiment was stamped on the punched ovals and adhered using pop dots. I totally love all the ribbon on this card. I have been hoarding it lately and it was really fun to just let loose and go crazy with the ribbons.
