Over at the Sweet pea Stampers Challenge Blog the topic this fortnight is your favourite Sweet Pea image. Yikes - that's a challenge and a half in itself to try and choose. I have chosen one of my first Sweet pea images called Forest Blue which I bought nearly a year ago when I first started my Sweet Pea addiction. I just think that she's just got such a magical look about her don't you? I have coloured her in with Promarkers, die-cut the image and then edged with Stickles glitter glue. The backing papers are a mixture of plain paper, a magazine freebie, K&Co, Basic Grey and DCWV. I kept the papers to look very spring like as this is when we have Mother's day here in the UK. I distressed the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz's Broken China distress ink pad and a forest green chalk ink pad. I have distressed the doily with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo. The flowers I have made out of a book and die-cut the shapes, scrunched them up, distressed with Broken China and Faded Jeans distress ink pads, Stickled the edges, re-scrunched and then put a decorative button in the centre instead of a brad. The card is then finished off with some lace, swirls, flower button, sentiment off the computer, butterflies, gems and a ticket sentiment.
It's that "time of the month" and my regular charity stall has to be set up on Friday so i thought this card could go on the stall in case someone wants to buy it for Mother's Day.
