Here's my latest card:
The inspiration for this card have been a number of things:
- Colours: it is for the fourth - and last! :( - week of Summer Card Camp:
I found the colours a bit difficult because, although they are lovely, they are not the ones I usually choose to work with... and that was an additional reason why I actually wanted to make a card with these colours!
- Background: a technique taught by Jennifer McGuire and is the result of using Sizzix embossing folders and ink... amazing!
- Acetate window: the idea came to me from another tutorial by Jennifer during the Summer Card Camp
- Frame around the window: well, you should have guessed by now... yet another tutorial by Jennifer!
- Positioning of letters: actually, this is from a tutorial by Kristina Werner this time!
- Τhe theme: inspired by both the colour combo and Lily Pad Cards' latest challenge: a patriotic theme but with a twist to not be restricted to our national colours and flag. It can be symbols, colours, song lyrics...
So, it is summer (35C+ in Athens right now), I am Greek, I am going on holidays to Corfu, a Greek island next week... and I have friends that just loooove fishing. As soon as I saw the challenge, a fishing theme stuck in my mind. The only thing is that I couldn't get myself to use a fishing hook with such cute fishes, so instead I used a heart ;o)
- The "scene": inspired by Lawnscaping Challenge #14: Stamp a scene
A couple of more photos:
This is how it looks like from the side:
I highlighted the heart with Glossy Accents:
I hope you like it!
