Anyhow on to my card, I took one look at the sketch and just knew it involved my Cameo. I designed a square in the design area and added lines to be able to cut it. I also added the balloons I found by accident in my files with the cupcake, which then set the theme of the papers. It really was meant to be, it was put together in minutes, of course it took longer to make. I Print and cut with the Cameo added an outline to the balloons and the cupcake, then 3D'd them.
Then after I had added all the elements to the cut frame, I went to add it to the card base and somehow, goodness knows how, I had made one side bigger than the other????? so I had to cut top and bottom off to fit the card base, I think I got away with it? I then added the birthday sentiment cut from the same floral paper and with 3 more layers to give it depth and added it to the top, a few sequins and it was finished. I don't know why my photos have a wonky element to them, the cards don't.

Our front garden on the 19th October on a dismal day, just before hubby took all the flowers out to plant daffodil bulbs, seems such a shame to spoil the show, but it is extraordinary to have it look like this so late in the year.

What gorgeous photos of your garden and I bet a lot of work keeping it looking like it. Colourful and delightful card. Clever use of the cutting and the most perfect interpretation of the sketch. Those balloons look great, as does that yummy cup cake...Yes sometimes my cards look a little wobbly when I post them, don't know why either x
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Faith, I love the colours, pretty papers and all of your super details.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks beautiful, I don't think the gardens know what season it is anymore - we still have runner beans and courgettes in our garden.

Such a fun card! Love the whimsical design! The colors are so bright and cheery - in both the card and the garden. I pulled some of my annuals out too over the weekend, but we are still experiencing summer temps. here too. As you say, it seems a shame to pull them, but the bulbs do need to go in!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your card's taking top spot in that sketch challenge, Faith! Well deserved, my friend. :-D
ReplyDeleteYour card is wonderful, but this time i love your garden more. What great colors.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card and your garden looks amazing! I was admiring the sweet peas still in flower at Llanrhaeadr yesterday. Mine cooked in July and I only had a couple of bunches from them. I think you have had more than your fair share of rain this year, which has made the gardens later than usual. You are right about Autumn colours making the green look even brighter. I took some photos on Friday that showed that perfectly. Thanks so much for all your lovelyy comments xxx
