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