Did you get the gorgeous image that Krista from Saturated Canary was giving away on her blog? OMW she is just a doll! As soon as I downloaded it I had to sit and colour it – these images make me HAPPY!! I’ve used her for this week’s Saturated Canary challenge, and this time we have to make a bookmark. Now then, I started off with the best of intentions and made a bookmark but love the image so much there is no way I am hiding her inside a book, plus I have a Kindle so even more of an excuse to make her into a card. Soooo, I made the bookmark, photographed it then turned it into a card instead. Aaah, much better lol
And of course a special little lady has to go on a card using special papers – Inkido from Dies to Die For. And I didn’t shed a tear when cutting it lol.
I used a Marianne Design die for the corner after inking it with vintage photo DI. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts as is the lace. I used small gardenia, 25mm rose, 20mm roses, 15mm roses and 10mm roses. I also added some pearls to finish it off.
The wee tags are from Lili of the Valley’s Sentiment Tags
And the inside finished off
And now I am going to catch some rays in the garden, it’s our Ben’s 7th birthday and they are coming along for a barbeque.
hugs
She's gorgeous Bev!
ReplyDeleteI love her too and nabbed her quickly.
ReplyDeleteShe looks super as a bookmark Bev but I think the card is much better.

ReplyDeleteHi Bev
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful card, just lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvve the image (she is sitting in my craft room waiting to be coloured). at the moment I am knee (neck) deep in making cards to sell for teamhannah charity, so Ava will have to wait a while,. Krista is such an AMAZING artist just love her work.
Hope Ben has a lovely Birthday & enjoys the barbecue, I bet his Grandma/Nanny/Grandmothers card is his favourite.
