Another one complete...

Yahoo....It feels SO good to be productive with paper!!!! I had a swap I needed to get completed for a yahoo group I belong to...ArtyKards.....the theme is Black/Red.......I wanted to do something special so I decided to use this AMAZING copy of a drawing my oldest son...Billy Duncan drew back in 2008.....He is so wonderful at drawing and this is just a small sample of his talent......Yes it is a tattoo drawing for something he had a request for....but I think it is beautiful!!! I've used this drawing before but I just couldn't resist for this swap.......because he had created it in red/black....

I printed his drawing onto watercolor paper........and then cut a couple extra layers of the Chinese writing as well as an extra of one of the flowers to make them pop up off the card......I kissed the edges of the image layer with black and red Tim Holtz distress ink...as well as the card base......I also added the silver brads to the card......I REALLY like this card...very different from what I usually create but perfect for this swap I think.....


I wanted to create an envelope to cooridinate with this card so I created one using his image.......because the card was an odd shape I had to do a bit of modification once I printed off the template I created by adding a bit more paper to one end of the envelope....If I would have had a 12x24 mat for the cricut I would have been fine but I haven't gotten any of those yet....so I made due......where I had to splice the paper together I ran a strip of ribbon across the seam to make it look like it was intentional.....turned out well I think........


Ok.....I'm attaching the files if anyone is interested.......If you are you know the drill on downloading.......

Ok, that's about it for me for tonight...I have a screaming headache I can't seem to get rid of...I knew better then to come home without my migraine medicine..regular tylenol or ibuprophen just doesn't cut it.....so I'll have to try and deal with this til morning....probably won't be a good night's sleep... sigh!!!! BUT...as ALWAYS I want to THANK YOU for coming by to visit with me........I TRULY appreciate it!!! I pray you all have a VERY blessed Tuesday!!!!
