Today, I thought my blog needed a little spring clean (i.e. deleting blogs that no longer interest me, blogs I haven't visited in a while, challenges I no longer take part in) when I happened to notice a new challenge over at Allsorts Challenge Blog that looked promising - Flowers All Over, which can be directly linked to here. Anyway, I noticed that the very talented Loopy Lou had her card featured at the top of the challenge, so I thought, as I am in my shed anyway, why not make something 'flowery' and join in with the challenge and, this is what I came up with.
Now I know that it isn't exactly flowers ALL over but, hey, if I added anymore, it would be overkill so, I hope that this is sufficient.
I grabbed a plain white 8" x 8" card base and folded it to make an easel card (as I haven't made one of those for such a long time and thought it was about time I did). I cut a piece of lilac card to fit. I mounted the lilac onto a cheap silver glitter card (from B&M Stores). I then printed my Polkadoodles image called 'Ruby Celebrations' - she can be found here.
I coloured her with my Copic markers and then I used a CD to draw a circle around the image and cut this out. Using a circle cutter, I then measured and cut a silver glitter card border to match the mounting on the base.
After everything had been adhered with sticky pads, I then added the mulberry and Hobbycraft Flowers around the border.
I then copied the border colours onto the inside, mounted a sentiment with some foam pads (so that the easel would stand and not slip) and some silver grey coloured pearls.
Hope you like it?
Thanks for stopping by, Fae xxx
