Hey,
I am SO happy it is the weekend..I need the rest.
I really wanted to send a friend some fun cards - she's the same one I made this tag for.
I had a little pack of wooden painted frames on my desk, so I decided these would form the basis for my cards.
I remembered a great card that I had seen by one of the Runway Inspired DT - Lindsay
I was inspired to try the same inky background, so I got out inks that contrasted with the frames and got to work..
There was no real idea behind putting the ink on the paper, I just smushed it around and kept going until I achieved the colour I wanted!
I went with landscape cards, suited my frames better. I stamped a sentiment onto the inked up card and then got out the dreaded UHU to attach my frame to the card!
I die cut feathers using a Memory Box feather die - you get one die and 2 different sized feathers. Once again I chose a contrasting colour. I added these to the frame using UHU.
It didn't quite feel right, so I added a mini heart. Perfect!
Here is the pink version -

Oh Wow! these are gorgeous Claire! I love the inky backgrounds… they look awesome… and the frame and feathers frame the sentiment beautifully! it's amazing how different they look in the varying colour combos…trying to pick a favourite but can't as they are all equally beautiful ! :-))
