My friends keep me busy!
This card is the first of three that my friend asked to make yesterday. ( We had a fab barbecue by the way. I can recommend M&S cheese stuffed burgers! )
Anyway, to continue... it's for an ex-colleague of hers and I was informed that she liked music or cats. As you can see I opted for the cat.
The sketch is from The Pink Elephant, the technique is from Penny Black where embossing was requested, and 365 Cards chose the predominant colour...'Lovin' Lavender'
I have used White Wash Coredinations paper which I double embossed for the squares. The first time was de-bossed with the circles and sanded and the second time was embossed with the tiny hearts and inked. The die cuts are Cuttlebug and the image is Penny Black.
Now on to the next one!
