Now, my card is a bit of a botch-up. I had image coloured to match the papers, the card all stuck together - and then dropped blue ink pad on top of it. There was no way to save the image and I was running out of time so I either had to miss the challenge or think of something fast.
I coloured the same image quickly in warm greys and stuck on top of the ruined one. I only noticed on photos it wasn't even straight...aaargghh.
The sentiment is computer-generated. Papers are from We Are The Memory Keepers and now I have finally decided that I don't really like them at all. The butterfly charm was bought a long time ago from Ebay and is mainly there to try and cover some of the blue ink stains. Ribbon and flower from my stash.
COPIC COLOURS:
W9, W7, W5, W3, W1, W00, 0

Gosh you are hard on yourself and shouldn't be. While you may not be 100% happy with this card, it looks fabulous and I will just tilt my head so I won't know your image is crooked.

You've created such amazing detail with just the warm greys, wow! And I can't tell it's not straight, it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteour accidents often produce something marvelous - as is the case here!!! I love it - think we should do a reverse challenge - have the image in black/white and the background all colors! This pops! really do love this one!
ReplyDeleteNo way is this a botch-up Annika! The monochrome image is beautiful and the colours of the surrounding papers set it off perfectly. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sylvia xxxx

This may have stemmed from a disaster Annika, but I love the look of the warm grey colouring on this card. It gives it a lovely 'vintage' style.
ReplyDeleteWell Annika, this is the most fabulous botch-up of a card I've ever seen. I think the image in grays is beautiful, and the DP and embellies are perfect! :)
