I was asked to make a very bright and cheery card for a lady to give to a family member who loves to read her kindle. I thought this image from D'Arcy's Diaries was perfect as it is called "e-books rock" (DarcysDiaries_044). I have used a bunting shape that I got from Joanna Sheen's shop recently. I stamped the pennant with a Versmark ink pad and a Creative Expressions stamp which I doubt I have ever used - terrible eh?? My excuse was that there were lots in the set!!! I then rubbed over with my Pan Pastels - oh I do love this so much as they are such a dream to use. The backing paper is from my scraps box. The D'arcy's Diairies image I have coloured with my Promarkers and then cut out with a die and inked the edges. The card has been finished off with some My Craft Studio Click-Print-Go flowers (some have brads for the centre and some have buttons), gingham ribbon (I've had this short scrap leftover for about a year but hadn't used it as it was too short for a bow), ribbon bow, pearls and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
