Miss Anya

Hi
Today is my sons' girlfriends birthday and this is the card I made for her. the image is Miss Anya from the Greetings Farm. I used kraft card stock and whisper white from SU, BG wisteria papers and buttons, I coloured the image with copics on Manga paper. Die cut with nesties 'labels'. Flowers stamped onto wisteria with distress ink and punched out with retro punches from EK success and leves were cut using Accent essentials on my Cricut. Oh, and last but not least I added a little heart charm which hung from a brad with little silver links that were so fiddly I used a pair of tweezer and a little sharp knife - cutting my finger in the process!! Luckily the blood did not reach my card! Thankyou for stopping by xx

Lots to do challenge

Hi
This weeks Lots to do challenge is to use apiece of stamping. So I chose the beautiful Maribel image by Stempelglede.
After several attempts at colouring her on glossy card I am rather pleased with the result! I used pigment inks
- versacolor and distress to colour her and used distress inks for the background. The flowers were stamped ( Stempeglede grunge) with distress inks on grunge paper and punched out with retro flower punches. the swirly thingy was cut on my Cricut using Accent Essentails, which I don't use enough! I had a hard time photographing her and this is the closest to how she looks in real life. thanks for looking xx
