Bon Viveur


I used a sketch to make this card, but I'm not sure if Crafting When We Can will recognise their sketch, I played with it so much!

My circle is square, I originally had the left-hand panel, but got rid of it to show more of the backing paper and ribbon.  Instead of the corner top left, I have the postmark, the ribbon/border is shifted down and instead of a star I used the Eiffel tower. See! 

The central image (pre-coloured), cocktail glasses and lace pattern paper all come from Craft Artist Frou Frou CD. The backing paper was a Craftwork Cards freebie with a magazine. The tower was cut on the Silhouette and can you see I pleated the ribbon? Then I covered most of it up!! 

As well as Crafting When we Can, I'd like to enter:
CD Sunday  ribbon, lace and gems (hope it's okay that the lace is the pattern on the paper and her dress) 
Cupcake Inspirations Paris 
Wags and Whiskers ribbon and bling

    Lovely card Marina - and yes it must be alright as my lace is card not material. Loved the pleated ribbon and the champagne bubbles.
    Thank you for joining in with us.

    I'm not the one to judge, but I feel sketches are there not only to be copied but to kick start your creativity and to be given your own personal touch. That being said I've altered sketches beyond recognition so I couldn't enter my card into the challenge, but I know the card wouldn't have happened without the sketch. To me this is within what's acceptable though, and it sure is a beautiful Paris themed card!

    I think this is a great take on the sketch Marina. I think this represents a perfect evening in Paris (not that I've ever been there). Love the drinks embellishment.

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us at Crafting When We Can Challenges. :-) xx
