Anything Goes every 1st & 15th of the month

 

I had an idea and used this image to try and see if I could do it, I'm glad I did, as it wasn't as hard as I remembered. 

 

I  took the digital stamp image into Photoshop, digitally coloured it and made a pattern paper for the background, being pleased I hadn't forgotten how, I haven't done it for many years. I printed the pattern layer and the darker bottom layer, then added them to the card. 

 

I then took the smaller coloured pink square with the sentiment and the larger uncoloured fig on it, into my digital die cutting machine, sized it to fit the card, I made 4 layers of the whole image and 4 of the fig only, then printed and cut the images. I tried to copy the colours in a picture of a fig. I didn't realise they had so many colours in them. I coloured the stem, leaf and fig with DI's and then coloured one of the single fig images, glued all layers and attached them to the card.

 

I added die cut corners adding a cut out piece to the other corners. 

I have so many other puns to use for this image, it'll be fun for quite a while methinks.
