My third project is quite a Clean and Simple card. I bought this fabulous image from Delicious Doodles after seeing it on a card by Wendy and thinking it was a great image, and it totally is! I printed it larger than I expected, coloured it with various red Promarkers, some green, browns and black for the blood and blood pool! I used a dark red 6x6 card base and stamped it randomly with the Visible Image 'Ripped Fishnets' background stamp and used a black inkpad on the edges of the card and the stamped image.
And then, nothing looked right on the card with it! I played about with some bits and for most of the day, the image has sat on the background and looked great as it was. And so I left it as it was - of course, as fate would have it, I glued the image on squinty!!
Now, If you are hopping the next stop is Fiona. If you have joined me randomly, why not jump back to the start and see what else is on offer! Here's the blog roll -
