Lavender Thank You card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I love these papers from Pion Design, aren't they divine? Here's my 3rd card using a Saturated Canary image in 24 hours! This girl had wings but I fussy cut them off. I played around with my new Oxide inks to create her dress, it was a bit of fun for a change up. I punched the butterflies out of the papers and heat embossed the sentiment (I used my Wilted Violet oxide ink for the sentiment but it was too bright so I went over it with a brown and then while the ink was still a little wet I added some clear embossing powder). Apart from the dress and lips the rest was coloured with Copics.

Blue, green & black Best Wishes Girl (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second Saturated Canary card, isn't this a gorgeous girl? So sad you can't buy these images anymore. I coloured her with distress inks except for her skin which I coloured with Copic markers. I silver embossed a pathway for her to walk on. I used my Oxide inks along with shimmer water and WRMK next level embossing folder to create the background paper. I also cut up a beautiful black Jasmine puffy flourish from Flourish with a Bling.
