Hello, today a new challenge is starting again on the As you like it challenge blog, and this time we are being sponsored by Lee Holland digis. This time, we’d love to know what your favourite two-colour combination is for making cards. I usually really enjoy working with pink and green, but purple and green are definitely a close second favourite. Since I’ve made quite a few pink cards recently, I decided to go with purple and green this time. The colours just look beautiful together — perfect for lovely flowers, but I also think the combination works really well for a birthday card featuring a cute little animal.
This time, I’ve made a birthday tag that I can attach to my birthday gift. I used a digital stamp from our sponsor this week. The image, Badger with presents by Lee Holland, was coloured with my Polychromos pencils, a Black glaze pen by Sakura, and a White Uni Posca pen. I then cut out the image. I used the Cardzz 194 Slimline labels with stitchlines (CLCZ194) by Crealies to die-cut the bottom of the image. I then die-cut the tag again from purple cardstock using the same Crealies die set.
On the white tag, I created a background for the image using the Mini cloud edges stencil (retired) from My favorite things and Versafine clair arctic ink. I attached the image to the background using foam tape. Then, using the Big labelzz & tagzz stansen 19 (CLbigLT19) (retired) from Crealies, I cut a larger tag from purple cardstock and glued the white tag with the image onto it.
I die-cut the word "Gefeliciteerd" (congratulations) twice from purple cardstock using the Gefeliciteerd tekst (LR0651) from Marianne design. After layering the words together, I adhered the sentiment to the tag.
