The challenge over at Technique Thursday is to go through some old mags/books and find something that inspires you.
I grabbed the first mag that came to hand, "cardmaking and papercraft, issue 37" and the first thing that jumped out at me was a page of gorgeous easter cards by Stamping Caz. I decided to use all the elements of one of her cards, which included ribbons tied to a longer piece of ribbon, handdrawn black outlines around the card, a central hedgehog design and some sparkly dots.
She had used a lilac card so i covered a white card with lilac bazzill, and used a cute hedgie penny black stamp i have. As always i coloured in with watercolour pencils, and mounted it onto some pretty dusky pink bazzill. I tied some stripy ribbon along the top and then tied 3 different types of ribbon along it.
I then drew my outline around the outside with a fine liner pen and added glitter dots all over the card with stickles.
I really loved doing this card and it made me realise just how much inspiration i have in the huge stack of magazines i have kept. I will be doing this challenge whenever i need some inspiration.
