Well, it's Monday again, where did the weekend go? I had a crafty play yesterday and here's what I came up with.
The super cute image is from Lili of the Valley and has been coloured, somewhat predictably, with Promarkers. I added a hint of colour to the edge of the topper with Distress Ink in Weathered Wood and Walnut Stain, highlighted the bubbles and water with Glamour Dust, and stuck on beads for eyes and a black pearl for his shiny nose.
The patterned papers are Dovecraft, which I teamed with kraft and yellow cardstock. For some extra texture I used my crimper on the yellow band down the centre, onto which I layered some stitch effect grosgrain ribbon. I gave all the edges the once over with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
The sentiment was made with a stamp from a Personal Impressions set, I thought it went well with this image. The flowers were made with a punch and shaped with a ball tool and the final flourishes are a bow and some Card Candi.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
