It's the first Monday of the month again, so time for another blog hop at
Just Inklined. Can you believe it is now April? Yesssss...come on Spring! So make yourself comfy, and enjoy the hop....this time we are using pleats, the theme chosen by Jak, our hostess this time around. Now, you should have arrived here from
Ann Marie's blog, otherwise you may just want to hop on back to
Jak's blog and start at the beginning......to check out all of the lovely creations that these talented DT ladies have to share. Remember to leave your comments along the way, as there will again be two mystery spot prizes up for grabs.
Now, I've never used pleats on a card before, so this one was new for me. Using my score pal, I made some accordian folds on the paper print strip, and then fastened it down with two strips of double faced tape. This gives some added dimension, and when attaching the finished image, I had to double up on the foam tabs, but it worked great. The image is called
Scruff Take a Bow, and so reminds me of Farley....my daughter's pup, so I gave him similar colouring. I think he looks a little spazzy too!
I actually followed along with a sketch for this card too! Doesn't happen too often, but this one over at Dutch Dare challenge caught my eye. As you can see, I kept it really simple, playing with a black and white theme and a touch of brown.
As I am the last one on the hop, I do hope you had a fun time! Have a wonderful day!
