I will show all pics and then explain at the end!! I just love this image Crissy~~thanks hun :)) ENJOY!!!!
Card without tag inserted :D
The dotted Background tutorial can be viewed Here By Crissy Armstrong :)
I colored the image with Copics and tried a new technique on both the lion (flicking with markers) and the lamb (dotting with markers). I have been scoping out Melanie Holtz's Blog~~Paper Blessings and I love her coloring with Copics -- If you have never visited her blog~~IT IS A MUST!!!! After coloring the image I decided to try my hand at background dotting to soften and pop the image. Let me know what you think :)) Cut out image with Peony spellbinder and then cut a circle and punched around it with MS traditional eyelet corner punch (green matted piece under image). Bottom matted red piece is a large peony die CB with the Swiss Dot folder and then enhanced the dots with my Sakura Glaze Pen. I am sorry i am not sure what the dp is b/c I won it on blog candy!! Yeah!!! The removable tag was made with Sizzix tags Die and added freebie sentiment--see below--using SU tag punch. The paper ribbon was punched with MS traditional eyelet border punch~~matching set with the corner punch I mentioned earlier~~~then ran thru CB with swiss dot folder and took TH vintage photo ink pad and swiped over dry embossing--love the look!! Sentiment~Love one another~(see below) was also a freebie--I punched out with SU modern labels punch and matted and accessorized with Wild Orchid Rose and BG Rhinestones. Finished card with more BG Bling, Heidi Grace icons in upper right corner and Making Memories Brad
