welcome to my leg of the May Arts/ Faber Castelle Blog hop. I know I have been inspired but the offerings by the talented designers I hope you feel the same. As a quick reminder don't forget to head over to May Arts and comment for your chance to win the fabulous prizes. The giveaway - $50 prize pack of FC goodies and 3 rolls of May Arts Ribbon! How amazingly fun is that!!
I just love the color and texture of the gelatos on the book pages especially because it doesn't cover up the words. I played with many different options...blending colors and adding more ribbon...but in the end the simplicity of this card made me smile. I hadn't intended to use the negative banners when I started but I just couldn't resist once I punched the flags. The flexibility of the products will lead to more and more projects but for today... this makes me happy.
This is what I used....

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you stopped but sure glad you did. This is probably the least I have even seen on a card... and I really like it. It's book pages with a contemporary look!! And the ribbon is so wacky that it's just perfect. I love the freedom you took to do what your heart desired. Thank you for sharing. j.
