Touch

Hi all

Today I have made a card purely off my own back with no theme to follow.  The reason I have had time to do this is due to the fact a day off  from work as I have workmen in the house for repairs.  So I treated myself to me time with the sound of drills etc LOL.  I have achieved this and am a little pleased with myself. 

I found this image over @ Digital Two for Tuesday, a site I stumbled across last night whilst continually searching for ideas and inspiration.  I love it.  Anythis image is called Touch and I fell in love with it.  I coloured it with promarkers and pencils.  The frame is by Cheery Lynn.  I painted that with white acrylic thinly so the colour of the card would show through a little.  I then wiped vintage photo distress ink over it.  I wrapped a brown vine ribbon round it to give it a lift. I used that ink along with forest moss over most of the card and embellishments.  The tags are by Tim Holtz dies and the script with the hand writing is by La Pashe.  The muslin got the ink treatment also as did the wooden buttons.  I threaded twine and tied the buttons.  The ribbon I cut out from meshing in my stash.  The flower I made myself from some frilly trimming and used that really handy distress ink again and added some more of the vine ribbon.  Think I may need to replenish soon LOL

Well I hope you like the end result and please feel free to comment if you so wish to.
