The Little Land Of Me

The image is from Just Inklined and I layered it up 3 times on top of the base image. I coloured it in using my trusty promarkers in; Caramel, Henna, Buttercup, Gold, Pear Green and Moss. The background image is from Heartfelt Creations; Easter Lilies Set, stamped in Pumice Stone, the edge of the card has been accented using Versa Magic: Thatched Straw and the ribbon and gems are from stash.

 

Thanks for stopping by to look. I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The background is a memory box die, cut from peach floral paper from an Echo Park pad (can't remember it's name) I accented the background with gems in green, red and plum. The image is coloured with promarkers in Saffron, Gold, Burgundy, Slate, Pear Green, Moss and Forest Green. I layered the body of the hummingbird and the bottom flower to give some dimension.

 

I hope you like it and don't forget to swing by the other girl's blogs to spread some love. Until next time though - happy crafting! 

The foundation for this weeks card was some fantastic freebie floral tags I discovered on pinterest from a lovely blog call Lilac and Lavender. You can find the tags here. Once I'd settled that I was using them, I then set about working out the card. I created my own tag template base card, using some textured recycled cardstock in a pinky purple that matches perfectly. I then messed with the tags and printed the darling bugaboo image onto one, before printing her again on letraset paper to colour, this ensured that the finer details wouldn't be lost. I then added a sentiment on to a second tag which reads 'In the midst of our lives, we must find the magic that makes our souls sour'

 

I coloured the image with promarkers in; Blush, Honeycomb, Burnt Orange, Blossom and Amethyst. I then punched out some MS butterflies and coloured the white cardstock with versmagic ink in Thatched Straw and Perfect Plumeria and then I accented the butterflies and the tags with stickles in Platinum and Copper.

 

I hope you like it, totally different for me but I love it simplicity. Don't forget to stop by the other girls fabulous blogs to see their stunning creations.

 

Until next time - happy crafting!

 

I used cream base cardstock onto which I layered paper from a freebie paper pack I've had for almost a year - I can't remember what it's called as in January I decided to thin out my unused papers and cut down to 22cm squares all the DP I thought I might use - they are all now mixed up and stored in a box to be used. If they're still there at Christmas, they're going.

 

Ooops, ramble much?

 

Anyway, the design came about with a doily, a half circle of another freebie paper, a computer generated sentiment, a length of gorgeous East of India ribbon, some inked Martha Stewart butterflies and a freebie digital download butterfly which I found on pinterest and you can get here

 

The whole thing was finished with some stickles. The inside of the card (which I didn't photograph before I wrote my message) is another doily with a plain circle ontop, edges inked and finished with some more MS butterflies.

 

So there we go. I hope you like it!
