Yesterday my computer was a nightmare. I couldn't access my blog, my emails etc., etc.. I thought I had picked up some dreadful virus and so changed my virus protection to something a little more robust. Still I had problems, then I realised that in fact it was Internet Explorer that had crashed. I downloaded Firefox instead and now I appear to be in business again! Phew, phew!
It wasted a lot of time I can tell you.
This card is for several challenges. ABC is O for Orderly this week. This card is balanced so I hope it qualifies.
Charisma Cardz requested flowers, lace and pearls and it was the lace which was the inspiration for this card. I found it in my sewing box... something my mother had rescued from some garment or other and sent years ago. It's rather strange in colour and eveything else was a challenge to blend with it. I coloured the flowers with a swipe of Tea Dye Distress ink on a glass plate & picked up with a water brush.
The sketch is from Sketch Saturday.
The image is from Hero Arts, coloured with Whisper Pens. The border punch is from Martha Stewart.

Chrissie,
ReplyDeleteI love your card. Brown and cream is a color combo you just can't go wrong with. Thank you for joining our challenge this week at Charisma Cardz.
I have been having problems with Internet Explorer too, but I thought it was my puter.
I absolutely love these colours, so elegant. Beautiful work Chrissie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the ABC challenge this week.

You mentioned this was a challenge, but it came together beautifully. I am so glad the lace was rescued so that you could make this incredible card. I love the colors!
