Hi my lovelies how are you all? I'm having a real manic hectic monday so I'm gonna try be quick lol.
As I told you I had been playing with some of my digi images & been playing about cropping them. I've not seen them done before but I did get the initial idea from a digi image company who had drawn an image coming off the page.
Anyway here is another one I've done......this is probably my most favourite...........
This is 'Lady Of Opal' by Sara Burrier & she is a digi image exclusive to Crafts & Me.
I've kept the card pretty simple..........for me anyway lol to show off the gorgeous lady.
The metal corner was silver I painted it with Gesso. The gorgeous 'Resin Flower' is from
Ribbon-lace & tag is from my stash.
The pretty paper is Melissa Frances 'Vintage Attic Treasures' oh & these are treasures they are soooooooo pretty!! No I dont cry when I cut them.............ok maybe a little teeny bit!!
I've inked all the edges with Vintage Photo & matted onto Dark Brown card.
I cropped her to show her beautiful hair, her pretty face & those gorgeous wings, I then mirrored her to face the other direction. Its amazing how different an image can look after doing this.
The original image is here. She was coloured with copics & added glitter to her wings.
I used a Marianne Design Creatables to make the frame behind her.
I punched out 2 butterflies & attached Hero Arts gems to the body. The large pearl is from my stash.
Well thats it from me this post has took me ages cus I'm rocking Payton-Lea as well while her mam & dad have done back down Yorkshire to get their new car, its easier her staying with nana & gramps he hee.
Thanks soooooooo much for stopping by will be round soon to visit you all. Hugs to you all
