Hi peeps!
At last - another card, and it's for this week's LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE - BUTTON or RIBBON - how fab. is that! I love ribbon, so thanks Chrissie and Mandi!!
For anyone new to this Challenge, all the details can be found by clicking the link above.
Recipe:-
The "20's" Lady is a clear acrylic stamp I bought several years ago on e-bay, and I'm sorry I don't know the name of it.
I masked the lady (and her rather large hat), then stamped the La Blanche swirls.
Soft colouring on the hat - Copics.
The Amour stamp is part of a beautiful theme plate from Elusive Images (still available at Chocolate Baroque) called Fleur et Parfum de Paris.
Ink used - Versafine Vintage Sepia.
Blue satin ribbon from the local Boyes store in Ilkley.
White base card - SU.
(Please can anyone tell me how to photograph white card so that it LOOKS white?!!

Very pretty Sylvia, you tie the best bows!
To get your whites white in your photos you need to increase your EXPOSURE in your photo editing programme, occasionally after doing this you also need to tweak your CONTRAST.
If you have an auto function like ENHANCE that will also do it, but not necessarily to the exacting standards that you can get the other way.
Also check the brightness levels that you have set on your monitor, if it is set too low then your whites won't look right even if your camera has picked them up well.
Or have you tried washing them with Persil - aren't they supposed to get your whites bright white?!
