Haven't made a card in the past couple of days so I'm posting one that I made for one of the latest Flourishes release noon time challenges. Since this is the Chinese "Year of the Dragon" we were to be inspired by the shades of the fiery dragon.
Again, it was made to fill a need for masculine birthday cards. I really like the layout; I had saved a picture of a sketch challenge for a long time and just ran across it stuffed in the pocket of a binder.
I've been making my own baker's twine for the past couple of days. Went to the local street market on Wednesday and bought crochet thread and have been coloring it with Bic Markers. Here are the four colors that I've done so far.....
I've had shades of red in both of these pictures, so let me add a couple more....
This is what I call a "fluffy" poinsettia. Is it not gorgeous?????
And here's the full screen view..... I never cease to be amazed at how large they grow here in Mexico!
Later, Betty
