Dreams Take Us Forward

Good afternoon from Morgan's ArtWorld Design Team as we bring you our January designs.  

You can view all of the Design Team projects by clicking Morgan’sArtWorld Challenge Blog.

For my project I've selected Spanish Eyes 6 Greyscale and made this 6" square top fold card.

 I started by lightening the image slightly so that I could color with my Copic markers.  After sizing her to fit the front of an A2 sized card, then she is printed on Neenah 110# cardstock.  

For this card I selected the background paper first and matched the Copics to the paper.  With both the paper and the image having a lot in their image (busy) it's important not to select too many colors.  Try to stay with four to five main coordinating shades.  Once completed I trimmed close to the colored edges and made a black mat with a stitched edging.   I also die cut the black lace fan and matted the sentiment with the same black cardstock.

The white 6" card base is covered with the patterned paper then I layered the pieces as shown - fan, black mat, colored image, clock, sentiment with mat.
