Hi all, it's been a long time since I was here last! I'm seriously lacking my crafty mojo, I miss it, please come back!!
In an effort to stoke the fire, I had a little peruse of the lovely images over at Saturated Canary. I have only used my Promarkers once this year (yes it's that bad!) and I thought one of these gorgeous images would perk me up!
I purchased more than one (ahem!) and I just love this gorgeous girl. She reminds me of the heroine in The Hunger games Trilogy, Katniss Everdeen. I read all those books last year, back to back on holiday in four days! Loved them!
Anyway, here she is...
I went with Blues and Greys for her outfit, and I'm fairly pleased with the result, given that I'm a bit rusty haha! I used a combination of Promarkers and Flexmarkers - I did make a list of the colours I used, but there's way too many to type here, but if anyone wants to know the colour combos just pop me an email!
I cut her out using a Sissix Framelits dies #3 - I love these dies, they are so clever - They cut the shape you can see, and also a skinny frame! Two die cuts from one die! It makes 'matting' an image so easy!
I cut her out first, then cut another label shape using some teal bazzil card, and used the skinny frame to frame her with. Simple!
I used a couple of PTI Tiny Tags and the 'Love you' sentiment topped with a twine bow and pearly brad.
For some floral prettiness I added some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, and a couple of co-ordinating flourishes using some Memory Box dies.
For some glitter I added some Stickles to the flowers, and around the frame. The pretty backing paper is from my stash, and is one of the first papers I ever bought when I first started crafting!
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Saturated Canary Challenge - Love
Tuesday Throwdown - Anything goes
Papertake Weekly - Hearts & flowers - I used a heart shaped tag, and lots of flowers!
I Love Promarkers - for the Girls - this card is for my gorgeous big girl!
I love the result with this card, and I'm hoping it's kick started my crafty mojo lol!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline
