The current Moxie Fab World Challenge is The appearance of Cameos.... The description and definition of cameos provided by Cath inspired me to think outside the box for my cameo. My card also uses the Card Patterns Sketch #100. Here is my feathered finery:
The hen was stamped on white cardstock and colored using watercolor pencils and water brush. Cut out the hen and mount onto pattern paper. Trace pendant (Ranger) around section for the cameo and cut out. Apply super thin layer of glossy accents to back of pendant and attach image. I love the effect of pendant as it clarifies and magnifies the image and background.
The card base background was created using the stencil and Rusty Hinge dye ink sponged over the stencil.
The rest of the card was just layering the beautiful pattern papers and adding a tiny bit of distressing with a sponge and brown dye ink.
Here is the sketch from Card Patterns.
We are expecting another 2 - 8 inches of snow over the next couple of days. Can't believe it. :) The kids are excited as they are hoping for a snow day.
Have a lovely day!
