First of all, I love the overall design of this card. The next thing about Iwona's card that caught my eye is her use of texture to add interest to her creation. LOVE her layers of fiber. And finally, Iwona is a girl after my heart with her use of bright, bold colors!Here is my take: (I can't believe it- I actually used some patterned paper!)
Please note: Items used in creating this card that are available at www.ilovemementos.com will be linked in the following description:The flowers, Penny Black 3948K Fireworks, were inked with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped onto patterned paper. Next I colored these flowers with Copic Markers and layered onto brown cardstock. The 2 pieces of background paper were pierced using my Tim Holtz ruler and then I lightly inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink. The center "banner" was inked with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink (swiping the ink pad directly to the paper).
Here's a peek at the Memento's tutorial card today using Art Grip Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils on a kraft notecard. The step-by-step photo tutorial is available HERE.
See you tomorrow with another GORGEOUS card from Iwona!
Oh my word, look at this beauty! Now I can't look at my card any more, lol! Love your amazing choice of colours, paper piercing, and sponging on the edges. This is something that I should be doing more often. Thank you SO MUCH for giving me this honour and pleasure, to be featured on your blog! I can't wait until tomorrow!
