Daisy Chains & Butterflies.

You can tell I have been back at work, as I am falling behind on my personal goals to do at least a blog challenge a week.  I have finally finished and photographed my LOTV card from DT Donalda's Sketch over at Lili of the Valley, also going to include this one for the lovely people over at I <3 Promarkers .  In saying that I feel that this is my best card to date, even if it did take me three days to make!







I love the pastel colours and I am so surprised that everything went so well together.  The cardstock is Papermania Capsule and from my own stash.  I distressed the edges using the blade of my craft knife, sewn most edges and then stickled.

Lotv Daisy Chain stamp was used, how adorable is the bear?  Do you remember making daisy chains in the summer?  I do.

Promarkers used ; Bear - Sandstone, Ivory and Blender pen.  Girl - Cinnamon, sandstone, Vanilla, Cornflower, Pastel Blue, Primrose, Cobalt blue.  Grass - Forest Green & Pear Green.











The Velvet Butterfly compliments the cards overall atmosphere and is from Papermania's Henbury Lane Collection.  Happy Birthday Sentiment is from Pink Parfait by Forever Friends.





Now for my latest trial and error technique, I had some flourishes thstw ere die cut and had the outline left on the sheet so, I taped the sheet to my cardstock used my Zig glue pen and traced the flourish, lifted the outline and sprinkled extra fine blue glitter over.  That is ho I achieved the glitter swirls on my card.  Impressive!

The cream bobbly ribbon was 49p from the Works in my town and I have glued and half sewn this to my main element.  To be honest I feel well proud of this card.

Trying to catch up with the world of blogging now.  Adios Amigos!
