Pastel Birthday Card (Pink Gem Designs image)

Hi everyone,

Here's my last card of the night and off I scoot to bed! 

I have used a lovely image from Pink Gem Designs and coloured around her in a green copic marker. Then I die cut her out in an oval and inked the rest of the image with teal ink but left the die on it so I would get the clean white border. I used pearl flourishes and pearls from Flourish with a Bling.

A Teddy Bear's Picnic Easel Card (Pink Gem Designs image)

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying some sunshine.

I can't wait to show you all my new cards, I have 5 today! 

This first card I created as an easel card and kept it quite simple. I carefully cut the chevron paper, inked it and then layered it on top of scraps to give the bottom layer some added dimension. I love using scraps rather than foam tape when it is a larger area as it's good for the environment and cheap hehe! When I say scraps I mean the packaging of embellishments that is quite a sturdy paper so only requires a couple of layers.

The cute little image is from Pink Gem Designs and the Scrabble sentiment is from Ditzie Designs. The pearls are from Flourish with a Bling.

A Gem of a Challenge - More than 1 fold

Copic Marker Norge - Folds

C.R.A.F.T. - Birthday
