Inky Thanks

    Hi and welcome!  I'm here with my card for the latest challenge at Fusion.  This time I played with the sketch and pulled in the colours from the photo to come up with this card.


I hot-foiled the sentiment onto a white panel and then went to work with lots of alcohol inks to create the panel at the bottom.  Once I was finished, it was a bit bold, so I covered it with vellum to tone it down a bit.  Some strips of embossed cardstock completed the sketch and I finished with some red and white baker's twine.


Here's a photo showing the alcohol-inked panel under the vellum.


Thanks for visiting.  I hope you'll check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.

I'm playing along with the Thankful theme at Time Out Challenges.

Stunning work Karren, and I love how you muted the coloured panel, then used texture and twine in the top panel to add interest

This is simply gorgeous. I love the AI panel with and without the vellum. I am with Michele on the oyster mushroom thing. Your AI inking is fantastic! Thanks so much for playing with us at Time Out!
