In
just under the wire here with my second submission to the
Whimsie Doodles Challenge for May 2012: Bump It Up. The challenge was to use scoring or dry-embossing on a project.
For this card, I aimed for CAS, and a literal interpretation of the sentiment. The "grass" was created by first turning the card over onto a foam mat and drawing grassy clumps with a scoring tool, then returning it to the right side and swiping with an ink pad to emphasize the scoring.
The snail image was printed on patterned paper (CTMH Dotty for You), high-lighted with markers and attached to the card base with foam tape. I'm
pretty sure the snail was a freebie from Whimsie Doodles, but now that I've gone back to verify, I can't locate it on the site! Oops and apologies...
The envelope was made by scoring and folding a scrap of paper with a little inking on the edges for definition. The kite tail uses little bows of twine from
The Twinery.
Wishing you a warm, kite-friendly weekend!
Happy Memorial Day to all my US buds.
