I am tardy with my July card exchange cards so I managed to get them done this week!!!! I started this card using a large pink envelope from my stash and I created a white card to fit inside. I had chosen this little rose image which is my art! I created several pages of doodles a while back while watching a doodling video on YouTube. I scanned them, saved a few as individual elements and did some digital clean on those that needed it before printing them on white cardstock! Pretty cool to be using my own images on my cards!! I decided to use this beautiful scrapbook paper but it was a bit short so I created embossed borders for the top and bottom using pink cardstock that coordinated. I punched the decorative paper with a scalloped border punch (SU) and pierced each scallop with a push pin. I glued the pink borders to my card front and then added the pink raffia before I adhered my decorative paper over the borders centering it nicely. I watercoloured my laser printed image and then added it to a cardstock background that was a combination of three different greens. Adds a bit of interest and uses up scraps from my stash. I added a strip of double sided tape to one edge and placed six little pieces of flagged ribbon into it. This helped add some texture to my card. Very happy with how it turned out!!
