I've made this card for a few challenges, I'm getting the hang of them now and am already addicted! This blogging lark is great fun!
The lovely image was a freebie download from Saturated Canary which I've coloured with my trusty Promarkers. I then highlighted the eyes, lips, heart and buttons with Anita's 3D Gloss. I'm so glad Docrafts have brought out the gloss with a finer nozzle, it's so much easier to use on small areas. The edges of the topper were gently inked with Distress ink in Milled Lavender after being distressed with my Tim Holtz distressing tool. I patted Distress Ink in Pumice Stone along the edges of all the mats direct from the pad after they'd had the Tim Holtz tool treatment.
The yummy papers are Shabby Vintage from Craftwork Cards. They weren't cheap but I just had to have them! The plain cardstock is Bazzil.
The tag is a luggage label which has been stamped with a sentiment from a Forever Friends set and then I've gone over it with a metallic gel pen. Some Distress Stickles in Milled Lavender and a paper raffia bow add to the shabby look.
The flowers were made with my favourite Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die from mauve card held together with brads and accented with Distress Stickles.
Some wide lace and glass nuggets provide the finishing touches.
I am entering this card in the following challenges -
Sketchy Colours - sketch
Passion for Promarkers - distressing
