Afternoon bloggers! Hope the weather's not too bad with you - here in South Wales the rain keeps reminding us it's about, but it's quite bright in-between - if not a touch windy!
This weeks theme over on the Allsorts Challenge blog was 'Country Garden'. After using my 'Boy Carrying Watering Can' stamp last week I felt myself being drawn to it for this challenge too. I used my Whispers pens to colour it as I am still limited on my Promarker colours and felt they would be too much - I so NEED to buy more!
I decided to do something a little different with the image this time, but I wasn't sure what! So after sitting and fiddling for a while I decided to cut away the 'backdrop' and fix it over an aperture in the card. I then added an insert made with matching paper so it can be seen through the picture.
My MS Doily Lace Punch was still out from last night's play - so had to use that too! Added some ribbon and flowers punched from the papers. Papers used are...............Yep - BG 'Sugared' - AGAIN! I soooooo need to buy some more papers too!

ReplyDeleteHi Carole,
ReplyDeletecan i just say this is another beautiful card, I know what you mean about the boarder punch - I only have one so far but find myself using it on everything.
So far i only have 15 Pro-Markers so i'm very limited but my little collection is growing, I didnt realise when i started crafting that my bank balance was going to take a bashng on a weekly basis - but craft shopping is so much fun:)
Take Care and enjoy your evening - Ju xx
Gorgeous card, I like the idea of the aperture.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend. Kathleen x
