I thought I would experiment with using background papers to suggest scenery. It was a lot of fun and easier than I thought it would be. I am quite pleased with the result. I found it easier to use mainly one colour (soft blue) to work out what went well with what and then coloured the image after I had made the background. The papers and the stamped image were all digital ones from Pink Petticoat. I especially like the ribbon stripes papers which I have used on cards for any age or occasion and for both genders.
I really like the example cards on Pink Petticoat. They look simple until you try to replicate them and then you realise how complex and clever they are.
There is a really good bow tying tutorial by one of the Pink Petticoat design team that has inspired me to practise.
I have entered this card in the Daisy Doodles #18 Challenge Critter Mad.
