Made by *B*

 This was a card I did on Saturday, but have been pretty busy so no time to upload until today. It is based on Beate’s weekend sketch which you can see here:

I made the bottom image more square but used the idea of a vertical piece and larger bottom image.

The inspiration was from the SU! Inspiration challenge of a bedding set that looked roughly dyed. I embossed the large flower from Fabulous Flowers in clear ep over the top of a piece of Gimger Blossoms DSP (look under the flower and you can see the printed pattern).  Then I brayered over it with Ruby Red ink and wiped off the excess. I think this technique is so fun to do-and works so well with bold images like this flower!

The photo corners were quick and easy. I took a piece of scrap and punched about a quarter of a circle using my 3/4″ circle punch. Then I went back over the same spot and punched out part of a square leaving me with rounded photo corners.  The ribbon is SU! twill ribbon. I lightly dyed it with a Taken with Teal re-inker and Aquapainter. The length took only about 3 or 4 drops total. The “happy day” is a rub-on from the *FREE* SAB set.
