I am absolutely delighted to have been invited by Darnell to be Guest Designer on her NBUS Challenge this month. It's a challenge I find very easy to play in as I'm sure a lot of you do too! The NBUS stash never seems to reduce, does it?
I have used a stamp that was a freebie with a magazine - maybe last Christmas or maybe even the Christmas before. I coloured with Copics before mounting on a red mat. It looks a bit skew-whiff in the photo but not in real life. I did have to look up the colouring for Turtle Doves, what would we do without Mr Google?
I'm looking forward to seeing your NBUS makes in the gallery, I might end up with an even bigger stash!
A great card Sue and the doves would work equally well on an anniversary/wedding card too I think! Congrats on the DT spot!
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful! Love the way you placed all!
ReplyDeleteSo true, Sue! I hear comments from players who are amazed that I haven't run out of NBUS. They don't realize how much they enable me month-after-month, lol! I love this sweet turtle dove design! Your coloring and matting are perfect! (Again, so true re Google. I must turn to Dr. G. a dozen times a day!) Thank you so much for being my Guest Designer this month!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThat image is lovely, I like the gentle look and it's beautifully finished with the red border. I find getting a good picture harder than making the card. Yours looks fine to me. x
ReplyDeleteThat stamp is lovely - what a find! The card is even lovelier! The doves are beautifully coloured and so elegant - love the touch of gold on the wings! I agree with Viv, it would make a lovely Winter Wedding or Anniversary card - without the reference to the 12 days of Christmas of course!
ReplyDeleteSusan, it's lovely to meet you at NBUS this month! Your card is beautiful and with such a wonderful stamp. Many times I've been tempted to buy a magazine just for the stamp that comes with it. I keep trying to get to the bottom of my NBUS baskets, but I never quite get there... yet.
ReplyDeleteLove this NBUS card Sue. Great stamp. You'll probably need it again soon! xxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your NBUS GD spot this month, and those two turtledoves look perfect with the holly frame around them! I hope you recover and start feeling well again soon!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on you're being asked to GD over at the NBUS challenge Sue! I love your card. Like you, I'd have no clue on how to color the turtle doves so would have to Google myself. Which I find I do quite a lot on many different things. lol Love your image and love your coloring. Yes, way to many NBUS and most are older than the hills. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on guest designing over at NBUS this month Sue. Your card is inspiring - I love the snuggling turtle doves, beautifully coloured, and nestling in their holly frame. Gorgeous! Vicky x
