Adventures in Card Making

I haven't been able to participate in the color challenge at SCS for weeks, so I thought I'd try and do a quick card today. To be honest I made this in my bedroom, sitting on my bed, using my Scor It board as a desk! Talk about dedication to my craft! (read craziness! LOL) All this because the cabinet installers came today.

This is my kitchen today:

Ok, back to the card, I used the pretty Flower Lines again, masking off to create a more real feel, coloring with SW Markers and my Aqua Painter. I really prefer markers when then images are small, you get better precision in your coloring. I rounded the edge by tracing a CD along the main image and cutting it out (hey you have to use what's available!). I sponged with Barely Banana and I like the glow it gives.

I used the Manhattan Floral folder for the embossing just to give the background some interest (and I think it goes nicely with the set too).

Hopefully I'll see you soon with a little less chaos going on!
