May Colour Swap

This colour certainly made me think ...... peach, not pink, not coral, not orange .....

I mixed up some watercolour to peach and washed the cards, adding a copper spray to the second card and varying the strength of the colour on the third.  After printing out the image onto a text background, I gave that a colourwash and fussycut the image.  Once she had been attached I edged the image with some fancy ribbon.  A ticket added as a sentiment completed the first card.



I cut out the sentiment for the second card as a straight oblong and attached it to one corner so that I could add the fussy cut the peaches on a plate to the lower left.  I added some acrylic lacquer to the peaches.



After the spray had dried on the third background, I wrapped the ribbon round the right side of the card and added two fancy bows on the right side.



I received this lovely selection of cards:



Lovely printed and fussy cut images.
Thank you JanS.



There is a beautiful sheen to this paper fan which the photo does not show.
Thank you SueF.



This card is so adorable, the image set on a darling backing paper.
Thank you Beth.
