I am really new to this whole card making thing. But… it’s fun. So here I go again. This card was created for the Runway Inspired Challenge (ric#18 – Phillip Lim). It was a lot of fun to use the model as inspiration.
I used a bird and branch I had previously drawn in Inkscape. The orange sun was easey peasey with Inkscape’s star/polygon tool. For the layered shape above the branch, I created a line and small circle, and used Inkscape’s scatter extension to make the fancy edge. I exported the shapes and then opened them in the Silhouette Studio software.
For the black and white stripes, I first used scrapbook paper and cut the branch out of it. But I didn’t like the way it looked because the black was not the same color as my ink and other shapes. So I used plain black paper and a white gel pen in my Silhouette Cameo with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder. That worked great and gave me the look I wanted. For the outline of the branch, leaves, and text, I used a black pen in the Cameo. Ā Of course the shapes were cut with the Cameo as well.
Now I have a cute little card to send to a friend who’s having a rough time.
Happy drawing!
