Robyn's Super Saturday Challenge - Swing Card Technique

It's Saturday and its time once again for Robyn's Super Saturday Challenge.  This week's challenge is to use a technique.  The technique to use is a swing card.  This was a fun challenge to do.  There are many tutorials out there on how to make a swing card.  Here are two of them that are really good:

Splitcoast Stampers - Swing Card

Michelle's Rubber Room - Swing Card (great video and measurement template)

You may use any image that you like, but if you have any Robyn's Fetish (RF) images, show them some love!  Also, if you use any RF images, you will be entered into the drawing TWICE for a chance to win three RF images!

Deadline to enter your creation is Friday, February 5th at 12pm EST.  Click here to go to the challenge blog for more details and to enter.

Below is my swing card:

Front of card



The brown and yellow cardstock is from Bazzil.  The designer paper is from Basic Grey's Origins collection.  I used my Amuse paisley stamp, inked with Encore! Metalic Honeydew ink.  The yellow and brown drops are from The Robin's Nest.  The RF image I used is bee with flower. I colored the bee and flower with Copic colors Y13, Y15 and E37.  I also added some bling with a gemstone on the flower from Hero Arts. I distressed the image's edges with Memento Dark Cocoa ink.


Back of card

 

The sentiment is from Amuse, inked with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink.  I cut the sentiment with my Nestabilities petite and petite scallop oval die-cuts.

If you like the bee with flower image as much as I do, take advantage of the sale Robyn's Fetish is having through this Sunday the 31st.  30% off all the images!  Check out the store for the bee with flower image and the other wonderful images Robyn's Fetish has to offer.
