I don't usually have a plan...
When it comes to a project I am working on I tend to wing it until I like the way it looks.
Yesterday I had a plan...
Went into gimp and played with a couple of images.
Then off to my Silhouette Cameo to cut.
Everything's set to go...
No printer ink!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
No car at home so plans halted!
Sooooo.....
First thing this morning I was at the store!
As soon as I got home I got to work and this is what I made...
The background papers and the lovely image are all from Gecko Galz.
The striped layer was yellow and white but I changed that white to an orange, in gimp.
I also used gimp to clean up the lovely lady image.
Then off to my Cameo to print and cut the lovely lady and the striped background.
I inked the edges with mustard seed and a touch of vintage photo.
The words I printed.
The leaves and blue flatback pearls are from Pro31.
And the rose bud that she is holding is from Wild Orchids.
In this close up you can see that I pop-dotted her and I love the look!
I love the way her hand was set so I could have her hold that rose.
Always nice to do something fun and new like that!
