I needed to make a number of Thank You cards this week-end. For those of you that regularly frequent my blog you know I don't like green so I am not sure how this character ended up green. I was thinking of purple but hey ho I went in another direction. I have used a Sweet Pea Stamp image called Misty Reflections and coloured her in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with Sakura Stardust clear pen. The backing papers are DCWV and I have inked the edges of them all. I know it takes extra time but I always ink or use Promarkers on the edges to eradicate that white edges. I have die-cut the image and done a faux Nestabilities layer of green underneath by cutting around the die and cutting out myself. I have also die-cut some scrolls and some scallop circles to make a flower. The card is then finished off with some daisy ribbon, computer generated sentiment, handmade distressed flower with a button centre, green pearls and a personalised insert.
This card fits the following challenges:
