Blue Rosie

I've made this card for this weeks challenge from Michelle Perkett Design Studio Challenge, where the challenge is movement + Spring  but I was too late lol. I've used pale blue and green (lots of those colours in the garden at the minute) and to add some movement I've made a beaded tassel to embellish the card. Unfortunately its soooooo  dark and miserable today (where on earth has Spring gone??)  I can't get a decent photo so I've had to scan it so apols for the rubbish pic.


Rosie is coloured with promarkers and then I added some highlights with a clear sakura startdust pen. Its a gatefold card for a change and Rosie is matted on to blue pearl card and mounted onto a smaller card which ties shut with blue organza bow. The BP is from my stash and the tassel is made with pale blue bugle beads and silver seed beads and is attached with a pale blue gem brad.

I'm also entering Rosie into the following challenges:
Daring Cardmakers: Getting in a flap
Allsorts Challenge: In Stitches (the tassel is made using bead stitching technique)

Thanks for looking

  1. Hi Claire,
    Thats a beautiful card, what great detail, I love your colors! Do promarkers work like and as good as Copics? Good luck with the challenges.
