I combined yesterdays technique challenge - Marble tech and today's colour challenge (Real Red, Old Olive, Basic Black, Vanilla or White.
Main image was water coloured using SU reinkers on water colour paper. Cut out with oval nesty, matted with scalloped oval nesty. For the marbled back ground I used Adirondack alcohol ink "Lettuce". The gate-fold card is 5" x 5"... I cut a 5" x 10" piece of Old Olive, scored at 2 1/2" and 7 1/2". Cut out the two marbled panels, matted with black, distressed and stitched all edges. I ran the panels through the Cuttlebug with the leaves folder. I made the scalloped corners by cutting a scalloped circle into four pieces - used two of them. Pierced scallops. Added the red large dewdrops? Attached the red ribbon only on the left side. Popped up the main image. Made the inside sentiment panel.
Pat Smethers gave me this beautiful Stamp when I stopped in to visit her..... Thanks Pat - Hugs

Hey~ I recognize that lil guy! How cute Pat! Ok, now you have to come back to teach me how to use the MIL's machine. Your stitching is perfect. Love the gate fold, and how the red and black makes this pop. Gorgeous card! Miss you!

OMGosh I am loving that yummy ribbon, and that little peek of red on the bird and on your scalloped corners!! Such a lovely image and the marble-ized technique is a perfect compliment! FAB-ulous card!
