Big Ole Bow

Hi and welcome!  Today's card uses Jacquie's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and I have to admit, this sketch had me thinking.  When I first saw it, I immediately wanted to do some form of Mondrian design with dies, but I didn't have the right sizes of dies and it just became too hard, so it was back to the drawing board.  Then I saw the sketch in a whole new light and decided it was perfect for a big bow and that's what I did.


This image is a digi from Power Poppy and I printed it out and coloured it with Copics before die-cutting it to suit the position of the sketch.  Once that was done I gold-embossed the sentiment onto a black tag and added it with white cotton, piercing a tiny hole in the coloured image to hold the cotton.


I didn't add any other embellishments and I think this is the least amount of Copics I have ever used in one sitting!


Thanks for visiting.  Coincidentally, Color Hues are looking for red and black for their current challenge so I'm going to link up there.

Wow Karren, your coloring of that big bow is simply stunning! I'm tucking that color combo in my back pocket for future use and what I really love is your judicious use of the darkest marker. Such a clever way to use the sketch and as well as the CH colors! Thanks so much for playing along at Color Hues!
