I joined in again with the
Card Chain Challenge for October.
From the options for the month I chose the sketch and the theme of clocks and made this one layer card which has gone to
Cat. A one layer card is ideal if you're airmailing something, I find!
I stamped the top leaf and masked it, then the second leaf and the sentiment, masked those and stamped the clock. Lastly I masked clock and the edges of the card and sponged with Antique Linen before stamping the flourishes in the same colour for a tone-on-tone effect.
Fineline marker pen defines the sentiment strip and Copics add colour to the leaves and drop shadows to the various elements to give it some illusion of depth. I added a bit of sparkle with some Wink of Stella on the leaves, too.
There are still a few days to sign up for the
November challenge (the last one of the year) if you fancy being a link in the chain. It's lovely to get a special hand-made card as well as sending one you've made.
