Just Breathe...

Posted by Picasa

After a couple of attempts I've finally got my card finished for this weeks challenge over at Michelle Perkett Studio where the theme is 'Flowers Galore'. It isn't quite how it should be as I dropped the card and one of the dogs trod on it and left a big paw print on the last piece of lilac card for the base of the easel lol.
I've used Michelle's gorgeous 'Serena' image and coloured her with promarkers. I've inked the background with a stipple brush and added some gems to the flowers. Serena is matted on some cuttlebugged card and then on some lilac card. I've added some flowers which I  made from acetate coloured with alcohol inks, stamped and embossed with an Elusive Images stamp and lilac EP. I've also added some more lilac flower gems and a ribbon fish.
I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly Challenge: Say it with Flowers
Fab'n' Funky Challenges: Make it yourself
Sew Many Challenges: anything goes

Thanks for looking, hope you are enjoying the sunshine
