The image is coloured with promarkers and edged with green versamagic ink. I've used My Mind's Eye papers that were a freebie with this months Cardmaking and papercraft mag. The bow is recycled from a box of chocolates. Iv'e added some paper flowers and a beaded flowers. The beaded flower is made from size 11 seed beads using netting stitch with a beaded wire stem and a brooch pin on the back. Its a little pressie for my friend so Ive just pinned it to the card. I haven't added a sentiment yet as I've got the perfect stamp somewhere. it says 'Bouquets of Birthday wishes' and I thought it would be lovely with this image but can I find it? The craftroom gremlins have been at it again lol.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Penny Black at Allsorts: A burst of summer colour
Allsorts Challenge: Summer days
One stop Craft challenge: blue, green pink and a hint of red + flowers and bling
Paper Sundaes: Make your own flowers
Fab'n'Funky: Reuse or recycle (my choccy box bow)
Thanks for looking, the weekend starts here lol. I've had a really busy weekend at work so I'm looking forward to hiding in my craftroom for most of the weekend. Hope you have a good one
