My brother, sister-in-law and niece are moving house in a couple of weeks to their own first home. I've got really organised ahead of time, and made this card for them.
I've followed the current sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches for this card and I really enjoyed doing this layout.
My card recipe is as follows:
- Base Card - Centura Pearl 300gsm card in Snow White (Crafter's Companion) cut and folded to a 15cm square card.
- Design Paper and ribbon border from the Strawberry Kisses CD (Crafter's Companion).
- Image is by The Crafty Pad and was a freebie on the site - thanks Debbie! I brought this little chap to life with my Spectrum Noir Pens in the following colours:
- Skin - 43, 51
- Eyes - 33
- Outline - CG1
- I finished the image by colouring the background using pastels/chalks (which were given to me by a friend who has given up making cards) in the following colours:
- Grass - Dark Green, Green, Lime Green
- Pond - Turquoise
- Sky - Light Blue
- The sentiment tickets were from the February club at Create With TLC which I then tweaked in my word processing package to remove the original sentiment and then added my own sentiment.
- The 3 pieces of Bling came from my stash.
I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:
- #132 at Tuesday Morning Sketches
- Challenge #94 - Square Cards at Robyn's Fetish Challenge
